Giraffes Can't Dance Review: Love This Giraffe!! - This is Hands Down, 2 Thumbs Up a great book to have!! Love this book, and so do my little ones! It's sturdy, nice thick board book pages, the pages are bright and colorful, and the story is great! I have actually had this book before and I ended up getting it again! The story is cute and exciting. It expresses how we are all special in our own ways and sometimes we just need different music. Definitely recommend!! Review: Awesome Book With a Great Message About Being Yourself, Beautiful Illustrations - My 3 year old loves giraffes and when I saw this book, I knew she'd be excited to read it. The story is about Gerald, a giraffe who isn't the best dancer, and how he has low self esteem about his dance skills because the other animals made fun of him and his clumsy dancing. Gerald feels sad and a cricket, who had been watching him, encourages him to find the music he loves inside himself and dance to it his way. Once he followed this advice and let go of what other animals thought and danced to the beat of his own drum so to speak, he found he really could dance and at the party he impressed the other animals by being himself. I absolutely love the morals of this story because they apply to all people, old and young: when you let the opinions of others get to you, you begin to doubt yourself and become so self conscious that you forget to be yourself; and you may not be the best at any given activity, but if you do your personal best and believe in yourself, you will shine anyway. Gerald was able to let go of the opinions of others when he was alone in the field with the cricket and he found his own rhythm and realized he really could do what others said he couldn't do. He started to believe in himself and it showed as he did his best dancing. The morals make great conversation starters with your children about what things they have doubted themselves about and why it's important to believe in yourself. This book touches on bullying and the negative feelings it brings in an easy to understand way for young children as well and opens dialogue about what the animals could have done differently instead of laughing at Gerald. I love the rhyming text and the bright and engaging illustrations. I like that the pages are made of thick cardboard since it's a board book and I don't have to worry about her bending or tearing the pages. Overall, this is an awesome book with a great message! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Children's Dance Books (Books) #2 in Children's Self-Esteem Books #40 in Children's Animals Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (29,859) | | Dimensions | 12.25 x 9.75 x 0.5 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | Preschool and up | | ISBN-10 | 0545392551 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0545392556 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | March 1, 2012 | | Publisher | Cartwheel Books | | Reading age | 1 - 3 years, from customers | ## Images ![Giraffes Can't Dance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+2xoHC14L.jpg) ![Giraffes Can't Dance - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HsHzf1mvL.jpg) ![Giraffes Can't Dance - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ShcpqubcL.jpg) ![Giraffes Can't Dance - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GZqdOZqlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love This Giraffe!! *by A***L on October 7, 2025* This is Hands Down, 2 Thumbs Up a great book to have!!
