Description

Gerald the giraffe longs to dance but his knees seem to buckle whenever he tries to twirl. Will he learn to sway to his own sweet tune? Find out in this gentle ode to dancing to the beat of your own drum.

Giraffes Can't Dance is a touching tale of Gerald the giraffe, who wants nothing more than to dance. With crooked knees and thin legs, it's harder for a giraffe than you would think. But with some words of encouragement from an unlikely friend, he might just find the courage to be himself on the dance floor.

With light-footed rhymes and high-stepping illustrations, this tale is gentle inspiration for every child with dreams of greatness.

Editorial Reviews

Andreae's rhyming text has a jaunty rhythm that's likely to spark interest in the read-aloud crowd... Parker-Rees's kicky depictions of slighly anthropomorphic animals boogying on the dance floor are the highlight here. His watercolor and pen-and-ink artwork exudes a fun, party vibe.

-- Publishers Weekly, September 10th, 2001

A clumsy giraffe is instantly transformed into an exceptional dancer when he finds music that he loves. Full-page color illustrations done in pen and ink and watercolor are bold and warm.

--- School Library Journal, October 2001
