Luann's Reviews > Giraffes Can't Dance

Giraffes are one of my favorite animals so when I saw the cover of this one, I knew I wanted to read it. The message in Giraffes Can't Dance is that you shouldn't listen to others when they tell you that you can't do something. You should find your own way of accomplishing it. Gerald the giraffe learns that "we can all dance when we find music that we love."

The best part of this one for me, though, is the illustrations. If you've ever wanted to see warthogs waltzing, rhinos rock 'n' rolling, lions dancing the tango, and chimps doing a cha-cha, then this is the book for you. But my top favorite are the illustrations of Gerald dancing - doing a backward somersault while leaping in the air and at one point even striking a pose that looks suspiciously similar to a John Travolta move. :) You don't want to miss seeing a giraffe do that!
