Giraffes Can't Dance

Ages: 4 - 6. Gerald, a giraffe, has a strong desire to dance. However, he has skinny legs and a long neck. Whenever he attempts to twirl at the Jungle Dance where warthogs waltz, chimps cha - cha, and lions tango, his knees buckle. When it's Gerald's turn to prance, everyone jeers, saying 'Giraffes can't dance.' But there's a little cricket who believes in him. The cricket explains that 'Everything can make music if you truly wish.' So, Gerald begins to sway to his own lovely tune. This story, with its light - footed rhymes and high - stepping illustrations, offers gentle inspiration for every child with big dreams. Written By: Giles Andreae. Illustrated By: Guy Parker - Rees.
