A first picture-book adventure for Carlo, the young giraffe who just loves to learn.
Carlo, the young giraffe, goes with his dad and his cat, Crackers, to the new library for the first time. Carlo loves the library with its books and posters and chairs with wheels. But he's a bit scared of the sharp-toothed crocodile librarian Mrs Chinca -- until he finds out just how much she REALLY loves books!
Jessica Spanyol began making picture books as a child to help with her reading and spelling. When she returned to writing as an adult, she based her first characters directly on her childhood stories. In between this, Jessica spent seven years studying fine art at three different colleges, achieving a distinction for her MA in Illustration at the Royal College of Art. Since then, she has worked in a variety of jobs including being an artist in residence at a boy’s school and for the Royal Shakespeare Company, a set designer, a fine art photographer and a university lecturer.
