Raf

Ben’s favorite stuffed giraffe disappears one day, but sends a series of postcards telling about his travels, before returning just in time for Ben’s birthday.  I wish it mentioned specific places Raf traveled to, so as to provide readers with geographical context.  The only real humor comes when Ben is described as having to sleep all alone, without Raf, while the illustration shows a whole pile of other stuffed animals.  It’s fine, I suppose, but there’s not really much to make it wonderful.
