Okie Dokie Artichokie is a book about a giraffe who moves into the same apartment as a monkey named Marklee. Marklee tells Artichokie that if Marklee is ever being loud, Artichokie can just bang on the floor so that Marklee can quiet down. Everything that Marklee did, Artichokie would bang on the ground. Marklee couldn't eat, blow dry his hair, or even read without Artichokie banging on the ground. Marklee was really annoyed and didn't understand why Artichokie was so sensitive to sound. A gift that was for Artichokie accidentally ended up at Marklee's. He was so annoyed with Artichokie that he decided to not give the gift to Artichokie. He then felt really bad because he saw Artichokie alone on Christmas. Marklee brings the gift to Artichokie and it ends up being ceiling pads for giraffes. It all made sense now, Artichokie wasn't banging on the celing, he was just hitting his head on the ceiling. It was all one big misunderstanding and they end up being friends.

A cute book about neighbors, anger, frustration, and misunderstanding

Summary: Marklee is getting a new neighbor and was very excited about it. Marklee tells his new neighbor, Artichokie, if he's ever too loud to bang on the ceiling. Marklee began to hear "bang, bang" for every little thing he did. This became very frustrating for him so he assumed Artichokie was a sensitive grump and began ignoring him. One day, Marklee received one of Artichokie's packages by mistake, and was forced to deliver it to him in person. Artichokie was so happy his package came him because it would help him when he bangs his head on the ceiling for being too tall. ( )
