Gerald the tall giraffe would love to join in with the other animals at the Jungle Dance, but everyone knows that giraffes can't dance . . . or can they? A funny, touching and triumphant picture book story about a giraffe who finds his own tune and confidence too, with joyful illustrations from Guy Parker Rees and a foiled cover. ... wonderfully funny. - Independent A fantastically funny and wonderfully colourful romp of a picture book. All toddlers should grow up reading this or hearing their parents read it aloud to them. - Daily Telegraph A joyful read about an outsider who finds acceptance on his own terms.... there's also a simple moral about tolerance and daring to be different. - Junior Review: 🦒It is a beautiful book on self-acceptance and that everyone is special and different. - #GiraffesCantDance #GilesAndreae #GuyParkerRees #BeginnerBooks #AgeGroup3Plus 🦒This book is the first I have read from this author. Picked it up online because of the cover and the name. When the book arrived, we (my daughter and I) opened it and were like wow – before even reading the book the illustration took our breath away. It’s colourful, intriguing, catchy, appealing at the same time. And as anyone would guess, we sat down to read it at once. 🦒It is a beautiful book on self-acceptance and that everyone is special and different. What you need to do is to find your song. 🦒It is a story of a Giraffe named Gerald, who is unable to waltz, tango, hip hop, or cha-cha like the other animals in the jungle on a Jungle dance day. The others knowing that he can’t dance makes fun of him, making him feel useless and sad. 🦒Unhappy, he leaves the dance and ventures towards a clearing in the jungle to look at the moon. Where a cricket sees him and talks to him, making him realise that it’s not that he can’t dance, it’s just that he needs to find his song. And then he finds his song and starts dancing to it. In the process, he realises that he isn’t useless, he is just different. 🦒The other point that I loved about this story is that I got to explain to my daughter the different forms of dances mentioned in the book. 🦒Overall, the book conveys a beautiful beautiful message to our young readers and even the parents, who are trying hard to make the kids fit in this competitive world i.e. let them find their song and sky would be their limit. 🦒My take. It’s a must-have for your kid’s collection. 🦒My personal favourite quote from the book – “But sometimes when you're different You just need a different song.” #ChildrenBook #BookReviewsOfInstagram #BookBlogger #SnehasTake #TheBookBar #FacebookReview #SnehlataAgarwala #Review #Bookreview #bibliophile #ChildrenBook Review: Love it - What an amazing story and lesson told so beautifully ## Features - Number One bestseller Giraffes Can't Dance from author Giles Andreae has been delighting children for over 15 years - Giraffes Can't Dance: International No.1 Bestseller - It ensures you get the best usage for a longer period ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Children's Fiction on Prejudice & Racism #6 in Early Reader's Rhymes, Verse & Wordplay for Children #9 in Children's Books on Self-Esteem & Self-Respect | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,304 Reviews | ## Images ![GIRAFFES CAN'T DANCE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BXMB8-ZwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🦒It is a beautiful book on self-acceptance and that everyone is special and different. *by S***A on 25 September 2020* #GiraffesCantDance #GilesAndreae #GuyParkerRees #BeginnerBooks #AgeGroup3Plus 🦒This book is the first I have read from this author.
