Description: "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. Gerald is finally able to dance to his own tune when he gets some encouraging words from an unlikely friend. Full color.

Brief description: Giles Andreae is the author of many top-selling, award-winning picture books. These include Free to Be Elephant Me, Rumble in the Jungle, Commotion in the Ocean, and I Love My Mummy. However, it is for the international bestseller Giraffes Can't Dance that he is best known. Giles lives with his wife, Victoria, a children's clothes designer, and their four children by the river in Oxfordshire, UK.

Review Quotes:

"Andreae's rhyming text has a jaunty rhythm that's likely to spark interest in the read-aloud crowd." -- Publishers Weekly
