Giraffe Sounds

There is a small stuffed giraffe who lives on the Children's Reference Desk. His name is Butterscotch.

 

Today a boy, about 15 months old, came up to the desk, pointed at the giraffe and said, "mooo." Mom told me that according to her son every animal says moo. Super cute.

This brought to mind another incident that happened a few days ago with the giraffe. As they walked past the desk a mom asked her daughter, about 4 or 5 years old, what sound a giraffe makes as kind of a joke. The girl responded by sticking out her tongue. Apparently that's what giraffes do!
