About This Book

Gerald the giraffe loves the annual Jungle Dance, but his long, thin legs make him clumsy and all the other animals laugh at his awkward moves. With encouragement from an unlikely friend - a wise cricket - Gerald discovers that sometimes you just need your own special music to find your rhythm.

Why We Love This

A beloved story about being different and finding your own way to shine. The rhyming text is a joy to read aloud, and kids always cheer when Gerald finally dances.
