Gerald was a tall giraffe Whose neck was long and slim, But his knees were awfully bandy And his legs were rather thin...

Every year Gerald dreads the great Jungle Dance, and feels ashamed that he cannot tango and two-step with the rest of the jungle animals. But then one day he realises that it doesn't matter that he is different from everyone else--its just that he needs a different tune to dance to.

A lovely story, wittily illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees and told in rhyme by the award-winning author Giles Andreae, it has a stealth and humour that makes it perfect for reading aloud. Giraffes Can't Dance is a nifty little 1story that children and adults will love to read time and time again. (Ages 3 to 5 years) --Susan Harrison

I've been reading this to my daughter, now eight', for the past five years at least. A short moral tale that lends itself to daft voices and silly accents with the opportunity to ad lib as and when. Because of its narrative flow it can also be put to music....I've done it many times.... It is without doubt her favorite bedtime story even now....its the perfect 5 to 10 minuter.

This a wonderful story with a special message about being happy with yourself: finding your own tune to dance to life to. My son has special needs and I really felt the message was for him. He may be different, not as clever as some but the way he is is still beautiful. BUY IT!!

My 3 year old loves this book the rhyming and fantastic images. I also love this book because i never tire of reading it and dont mind if a am asked to read the book 3 times in one night.

This book is simply wonderful. I have read it so many times and I never tire of it.

This is an absolutely charming book, my son loves listening to the rhyming verse and spotting all the different animlas in the book. A fantastic book to generate your childs love for books, highly recommended.!
