Giraffes Can't Dance

Product Information

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.

If you don’t have the original blue covered book this is a gorgeous story of finding yourself and embracing your own magic and interests even if people laugh at you.However, when he meets a friendly cricket who encourages him to listen for his own music he discovers maybe he can dance after all. Concidentally, when Madame Gazelle introduced Gerald, it was quite like the introductory of Emily Elephant, with their classmates discovering their long features during play. Gerald is finally able to dance to his own tune when he gets some encouraging words from an unlikely friend.

In the twenty years since Giraffes Can't Dance bounded into the world, it has become a favourite with children all across the globe.However, he was renamed Gerald by a former museum director who was said to not be so fond of the Royal Family. Gerald is nearly as tall as Dr Hamster and he explains to his new friends that he is going to be even taller than Dr Hamster when he grows up. Finished with a tough lacquer with UV-resistant coatings, this means he can be used outside all year without being affected by the elements.
