Giraffe Dance submitted by Alliemayzee on July 26, 2014, 2:43pm Cute story, my kids enjoyed it. Pictures are nice!

Cute submitted by AprilCDB on June 25, 2015, 3:14pm Gerald the Giraffe can’t dance and all the jungle animals make fun of him, but then he learns how and they all want him to teach them how to dance like that. Cute story, my son has enjoyed the story, I think mostly because of the Giraffe.

Giraffes Can't Dance submitted by SBNB on July 13, 2015, 7:18pm It’s ok. Basically, the giraffe can’t dance, the other animals make fun of him, and he learns that he can dance his own way when he finds music he likes.

Cute story submitted by hyejinkim on July 22, 2015, 12:09am Gerald finally can dance when he got music he likes. And I and my son also like that music. Beautify Like~!

Great lesson submitted by whitneywk on July 18, 2016, 9:06am Gerald, an awkward giraffe, finds a way to overcome feeling like an outcast at the jungle dance. Great lesson for kids about individuality and being different.

Love submitted by unknown on June 29, 2017, 6:59pm Great book. Cute story and great illustrations. It's a fun read and gives a chance to talk about feelings.

Ok submitted by cbrewster on July 26, 2018, 10:12pm It was not a bad book and it had a good message, but for some reason I felt like it was just lacking overall.

Great Rhymes and a Nice Message submitted by scarlettsquill on August 5, 2018, 9:32pm Bold illustrations, fun to read aloud, and a positive theme.

Love this book submitted by TLW1998 on July 11, 2019, 9:38pm This is an enjoyable book that rhymes and is fun to read. Toddlers and preschoolers love it.

A lesson to learn submitted by VanCancue on July 27, 2019, 4:01pm This is a great book about acceptance and that it's ok (if not unique) for everyone to do something their own way . Bright colorful illustrations and rhymes.
