Theme: Dancing / Animals / AfricaToo long for storytime。Summary: Gerald the giraffe longs to dance， but his legs are too skinny and his neck is too long。 His knees buckle whenever he tries to twirl。 At the Jungle Dance， the warthogs waltz， the chimps cha-cha， and the lions tango。 "Giraffes can't dance，" they all jeer when it's Gerald's turn to prance。 Fortunately， there is one little creature who believes in Gerald。 "Everything makes music，" says the cricket， "if you really want it to。" So Geral Theme: Dancing / Animals / AfricaToo long for storytime。Summary: Gerald the giraffe longs to dance， but his legs are too skinny and his neck is too long。 His knees buckle whenever he tries to twirl。 At the Jungle Dance， the warthogs waltz， the chimps cha-cha， and the lions tango。 "Giraffes can't dance，" they all jeer when it's Gerald's turn to prance。 Fortunately， there is one little creature who believes in Gerald。 "Everything makes music，" says the cricket， "if you really want it to。" So Gerald starts swaying to his own sweet tune。 With light-footed rhymes and high-stepping illustrations， this tale is gentle inspiration for every child with dreams of greatness。 -- inside book jacket 。。。more

"Giraffes Can't Dance" is a social emotional book about a giraffe who is a little different from all of the other animals around， he doesn't have the best balance or dance moves like everyone else does。 when it came down to the night of the dance party between all of the animals， Gerald felt very out of place and down on himself。 A cricket told him he just needed a different song， and sure enough Gerald could dance once he heard a different song。 I gave this book a 5 star rating because it teach "Giraffes Can't Dance" is a social emotional book about a giraffe who is a little different from all of the other animals around， he doesn't have the best balance or dance moves like everyone else does。 when it came down to the night of the dance party between all of the animals， Gerald felt very out of place and down on himself。 A cricket told him he just needed a different song， and sure enough Gerald could dance once he heard a different song。 I gave this book a 5 star rating because it teaches that just to succeed you don't need to take the same path as everyone else。 I think this is a valuable lesson for many kids to learn at an early age。 。。。more

This story is about Gerald the Giraffe。 Poor Gerald can not dance， but he still does。 This story is a great lesson for Youngers students because it has a double meaning about being yourself， and not listening to stereotypes。

Fun story about trying and being yourself

Anastasia Thomason ，

What do you do when all you want to do is dance？ Gerald the Giraffe can answer that。 Remain positive and try your best anyways。 This is what he does when he struggles with finding his rhythm， try again and never give up。 I loved this book and reading about Gerald and how he looks at life when something seems too difficult。

Book 1 of the GGS Reading Challenge 2021 is complete！ A picture book。I bought this for my 3 year old daughter for World Book Day as a present。 I HAD to have a cheeky read beforehand， though， and it's really good！Like Gerald， I cannot dance to save my life， but as Gerald proves， sometimes you need to march， or rather dance， to the beat of your own drum。 Book 1 of the GGS Reading Challenge 2021 is complete！ A picture book。I bought this for my 3 year old daughter for World Book Day as a present。 I HAD to have a cheeky read beforehand， though， and it's really good！Like Gerald， I cannot dance to save my life， but as Gerald proves， sometimes you need to march， or rather dance， to the beat of your own drum。 。。。more

tGiraffes can’t dance is a fun colorful book to read to children。 For children， this is a moment that can be taught to them， to eliminate their fears， and to support their own identity。

Jennifer Griffin ，

This is a funny and heartwarming picturebook for ages 3-6。 I feel like it can be tailored to younger kids also when read a certain way， and could serve as an early reader too for kindergarten and maybe early first grade in terms of blocks of text and the vocabulary used。 It also encourages kids to ask or even answer why Gerald can’t dance and to share their favorite music styles。 I loved too that crickets were excellent violin players。

Alishea Ramsey ，

I love the rhythm and alliteration throughout the book。 I like how the Giraffe found his own rhythm after hearing all the negative， he still prevaled。

Makenzie VanderHorst ，

I loved the message this book sends。。。that you can be different， you can even not be good at certain things in other people's eyes， but there can still be something beautiful only you can contribute。 And I want children to know and to hear that message that just like Gerald the Giraffe， they've got a very special dance that they'll be able to do。 I loved the message this book sends。。。that you can be different， you can even not be good at certain things in other people's eyes， but there can still be something beautiful only you can contribute。 And I want children to know and to hear that message that just like Gerald the Giraffe， they've got a very special dance that they'll be able to do。 。。。more

This book shows the different animals that in the jungle so the children can learn about them。 Then the book introduces different types of dances and how they look。 All the animals told him he couldn't dance but he listened to himself。 The giraffe didn't listen to the other animals he did what he felt comfortable with and he danced。 The dance may have looked different than the other animals but he was proud of his own dance。 Children should feel comfortable dancing however they want。 This book shows the different animals that in the jungle so the children can learn about them。 Then the book introduces different types of dances and how they look。 All the animals told him he couldn't dance but he listened to himself。 The giraffe didn't listen to the other animals he did what he felt comfortable with and he danced。 The dance may have looked different than the other animals but he was proud of his own dance。 Children should feel comfortable dancing however they want。 。。。more
