5.0 out of 5 stars 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story great animation
Great book same price as Barnes and nobles and delivered no complaints here son loves it. Cute story no weird stuff
4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully illustrated book, rhyming text, but...
The illustrations are awesome. The story has a 'moral' (or maybe just call it advice-just listen to the cricket) and the rhyming is fun. There are parts of the story I don't like.1) The giraffe is ridiculed by the other animals because he can't dance, and they tell him 'You are so weird, Gerald'. 2) Then the giraffe gets sad and he says some things about himself that are super negative, such as: 'They are right, I am no good, I am useless.' I am not quoting directly from the book, but this is very close to what is said by Gerald, the giraffe. I won't read those words to my 3 year old nephew, he is super sensitive. I will just change the words around a bit. Putting aside the few sentences I don't like, this book has a fun rhyming story with lots of fun characters, brought to life by colorful illustrations.The illustrations are so much fun, I really can't describe them; you just have to look. I can't help that I still would like the wording to be softer in the parts I mentioned, but in spite of that I love this book. I love the way Gerald ends up dancing and so do all the other animals.
