This rhyming story will delight young children and get them popping along with the rhythm
Giraffes Can't Dance ... has been a bestseller for more than 15 years - and for good reason ... There's a very powerful message in there about daring to be different, and accepting others too
A fantastically funny and wonderfully colourful romp
A gloriously colourful and lively book with a strong message.
A wonderful, light-hearted story.
Superb...a wonderfully funny book.
Extraordinary and exuberant...a terrific tale and a positive message about celebrating difference.
This rhyming poem is excellent.
A hit with young children since it was first published 10 years ago
An inspiration.
A lovely rhyming picture book about understanding differences
This is a lovely story that incorporates several dance forms including waltz, tango, Scottish reel amd rock n roll. I have also used the story to introduce infant classes to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and had them playing along with it
