Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Giraffes Can't Dance
Giles Andreae · 2018
88/100
👍 Worth It
Gerald the Giraffe has been dancing his way into classrooms and bedtimes for over two decades for very good reason — the message about finding your own rhythm is delivered with genuine joy rather than preachiness, and the rhyming text is exactly the kind that makes read-alouds feel alive. A picture book that earns its international bestseller status.
