What happens when you put a giraffe on a submarine? Probably best not to ask the Navy.

Mr Morton has discovered a mysterious new section of the Bookshop, and inside it he meets Brian, a very hungry bookworm with a taste for punctuation and a nose for a good story. Together they open Giraffes: The Naval Years and discover the astonishing tale of giraffes, submarines, sailors and one rather serious problem with having an enormous neck at sea.

This is the first trip down the Aisle of Totally Ridiculous and Possibly Not True, a funny fact-filled adventure for kids where everything is completely true… except the bits that aren’t.
