【厭世長頸鹿的真心告白：我受夠我的長脖子啦！】"Giraffe Problems"

長頸鹿愛德華有個煩惱一直困擾著他，那就是—他的超長脖子！
為什麼我就沒有那樣的脖子？！！！！(崩潰吶喊)
愛德華試盡各種方法來隱藏他的長脖子，當他心灰意冷倒在一隻烏龜上，烏龜忍不住和他說：真羨慕你的脖子啊！我已久仰你的(脖子)大名！如果我有那脖子可以成就多少事啊想想我可以用那脖子往前往後往四處張望但我現在只能屈就於這短小的脖子...
愛德華雖然覺得烏龜講話落落長「你也不滿意你的脖子啊」，「是啊」烏龜唉聲嘆氣的說
於是兩個對自己脖子都不滿意的動物相遇了，與其自怨自艾，互相嘆氣，他們將會發現其實自己並沒有那麼糟！
雖然我們常說天生我材必有用，但很多時候還是不免怨天尤人，越比較傷害越大，或許我們只是還沒有找到自己最擅長的事物，懷抱自信勇敢嘗試，也許就會有人願意給出鼓勵與讚美。這本繪本充滿許多大人世界常常聽見的哀怨，就像愛德華，總是覺得自己不夠好，每天都在羨慕別人，對白雖嘲諷卻十分有趣，作家Jory John擅長以幽默又諷刺的語調書寫給孩子看得童書，他的其他作品如“All my friends are dead”和“Penguin Problems”等都是相當受歡迎的繪本，插畫家Lane Smith更是曾榮獲凱迪克獎和凱特格林威獎的知名插畫家，風格多變且多產，他的重要作品有“The Stinky Cheese Man and other fairly stupid tales”、“Penguin Problems”、“Grandpa Green”等。

#你討厭的或許是別人欽羨的

Penguins aren't the only animals with problems. . . . A second hilarious collaboration from picture-book superstars Lane Smith and Jory John!
Can you guess what's making this giraffe self-conscious? Could it be . . . HIS ENORMOUS NECK?? Yes, it's exactly that--how on earth did you figure it out?
Edward the giraffe can't understand why his neck is as long and bendy and, well, ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding it behind bushes--honestly, anything you can think of, he's tried.
Just when he has exhausted his neck-hiding options and is about to throw in the towel, a turtle swoops in (well, ambles in, very slowly) and helps him understand that his neck has a purpose, and looks excellent in a bow tie.
