For a boy and his toy giraffe, today is the perfect day to stay in. Snug in his pajamas, he reads books, bakes popovers, and plays with a big wicker basketâ€”that he transforms into a rocket ship to fly in â€œinnerspace.â€ But soon, the outdoors is too tempting to resist, and he takes his wild imagination into nature.
