A giraffe with an infinitely expandable neck, a pelican with a magical retractable beak, a dancing monkey, and Billy, a small boy with a dream, team up to make the most amazing ladderless window-cleaning company ever invented! When they are summoned to clean the six hundred and seventy-seven windows of the richest Duke in the land, the four friends find themselves entangled in a rollicking adventure. By the time it's all over, they've caught the world's cleverest and most dangerous cat-burglar red-handed with the Duchess's diamonds.
