Julia Eccleshare's comment:
A little encouragement was all that was needed to make Gerald the Giraffe realise that he could, after all, dance as well as any other animal in the kingdom. So, for any child that suffers from a lack of confidence this is the perfect book to give them that confidence to do something they didn’t think they could do. Stunning illustrations as ever from Guy Parker-Rees coupled with Giles Andrae’s sublime rhyming poem that will delight every child and parent alike. A triumph of a book and made even more spectacular in this new DVD edition.

About The Author
Giles lives with his wife and three children in Notting Hill and
Wiltshire. He writes highly successful children's books. The first,
Rumble in the Jungle, was an instant success and has sold more than
half a million copies. The more recent Dinosaurs Galore continues the
rhyming fun and vibrant illustrations that established Giraffes Can't
Dance as a perennial children's favourite. The Lion Who Wanted to Love
won the Federation of Children's Book Group's Best Picture Book Award
1998. Giles more recent and equally enchanting titles are There's a
House Inside My Mummy, Heaven's Having You, K is For Kissing A Cool
Kangeroo and The Magic Donkey Ride. Giles's children's books have, to
date, sold more than 1.5 million copies, making him one of the most
successful children's authors working today.
Giles Andreae is also
the creator of Purple Ronnie, Britain's favourite stickman. This
phenomenally successful cartoon character has made Giles the country's
top-selling poet and an icon of contemporary popular culture.
