Hey ya’ll!! 

Happy Thankful Thursday!! 

Have a Gigantic Grateful day filled with lots of Gratitude!

We are on letter Gg of the Gratitude Alphabet! G is for Giraffe!

Joey is grateful for Giraffes! He loves to visit the zoo and feed the giraffes!! He loves to snuggle with his stuffed giraffe! Do you have a favorite stuffed animal?

Do you know what gratitude means? It means to be thankful for the good things in your life and to show appreciation when someone does something kind for you.

What are you thankful for that begins with the letter Gg?

Here is a list of fun facts about Giraffes:

1. A giraffe has four stomachs.

2. The giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world.

3. Giraffes can live up to 31 years in captivity and up to 25 years in the wild.

4. The oldest giraffe in the world as of now is named Mutangi and she will turn 31 this October. She lives in the Taronga Western Plains Zoo!

5. Giraffes can get up to twenty feet tall!

6. Giraffes spend most of their time standing up. They can sleep standing up or lying down. They sleep a total of about 5 hours a day, but they only sleep up to 35 minutes at a time.

7. Giraffes are herbivores. Herbivores only eat plants.

8. All giraffes are unique. Their spots are a lot like human fingerprints; no two giraffes have the same pattern of spots.

I'm Mimi, the author of the JOEY SAVES THE DAY! book series. I love reading, writing, teaching, and learning. I homeschool my two youngest children. My 16-year-old daughter illustrated the books and will illustrate all the rest of them in the series. She started illustrating the series when she was 14 years old. She loves to draw. She is learning as she goes. Her dream is to one day be a famous illustrator and a fantasy book writer. Help me make my daughter’s dreams a reality and watch how her illustrations evolve over time! Children and adults everywhere will love these books. The story and illustrations within the pages of the books will put a big smile on your face and your child will be delighted as you read them the books. The illustrations are adorable and the stories are super cute. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to own this collection of adorable books! All five of the books are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Walmart, and Books A Million.
