Hi Sandy--This book is "The Giraffe Who Went to School", a Wonder book not LGB; author and illustrator Irma Wilde, c. 1951. I bought a copy in the 1990's at a thrift shop; it was published in 1987 in paperback instead of the original sturdy Wonder Books covers. Cute story!
Does anyone remember the title of a Golden Book about a maypole? All I remember is a girls school, two teachers, one tall and skinny the other short and plump. In the end, a giraffe ended up being the maypole. Maybe the maypole they had blew away in the wind-I'm not sure about that.
Sandy
