Milly and her animal playmates - Elephant, Giraffe and Cat - are a typical bunch of friends. Each has their own distinctive personality: Elephant is full of energy but rather clumsy; Giraffe is helpful but a bit on the bossy side, and Cat is thoughtful if a bit shy. It's often up to Milly to help them sort out the small dilemmas and upsets that form such a big part of young children's lives. In this story Giraffe decides to take charge on a visit to the supermarket - but things don't quite go to plan.
