DESCRIPTION:
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. But with some sound advice from a wise cricket, Gerald starts swaying to his own sweet tune.NARRATOR: Billy Dee Williams. A favorite tale of gentle inspiration for ever child with dreams of greatness.Format: Paperback Book and CDGerald the giraffe longs to dance, but his legs are too skinny and his neck is too long
He just wants to dance. But his knees are crooked and his legs are thin, and all the other animals mock him when he approaches the dance floor at the annual Jungle Dance. But an encouraging word from an unlikely source shows this glum giraffe that those who are different "just need a different song," and soon he is prancing and sashaying and boogying to moon music (with a cricket accompanist). "Hey, look at clumsy Gerald," they sneer. Gerald the giraffe doesn't really have delusions of grandeur. "Oh, Gerald, you're so weird." Poor Gerald slinks away as the chimps cha-cha, rhinos rock
There is a reason this book is a top seller! KC There's a reason this book is a top seller, it's adorable! I first read this book in a toddler book club when I was a nanny, I now read this book to my own children. I have read this book probably a hundred + times (not an exaggeration) and I still love it. I haven't found a child who didn't like this book, it's so cute. Great story, nice color. Great Book, Esepcially for Kiddos with Special Needs I'm going to side with every other member of this book's fan club. I bought his because I have a beautiful little boy who has some very specialized challenges, and I loved the message this book sendsthat 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 c. Good I really like this, I got it for my one year old and he gets a bit impatient for me to read each page as most of his other books have less words per page but he still picks it often for me to read and I think as he gets older it will be perfect.
