The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me

Written by Roald Dahl and Illustrated by Quentin Blake

The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company doesn't need a ladder. They have a giraffe instead. They don't need a pail because they have a pelican with a large beak. A monkey does the washing and Billy is the manager. The company is all set to wash the 166 windows of the Hampshire House, owned by the richest man in England. But are they really ready?
