Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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? A 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.
Originally published in Great Britain in 1999 by Orchard Books London.
Gerald the giraffe is too clumsy to dance with all the other animals at the Jungle Dance, until he finds the right music.
