At the Jungle Dance, the warthogs waltz, the chimps cha-cha, and the lions tango. &#8220;Giraffes can&#8217;t dance,&#8221; they all jeer when it&#8217;s Gerald&#8217;s turn to prance. But with some sound advice from a wise cricket, Gerald starts swaying to his own sweet tune.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>I have been wanting to get this book for awhile and I finally got it for the girls a few weeks before Christmas. Giraffe&#8217;s are my ultimate favorite animal and I fell in love with this book the first time I opened the pages. <\/p>\n<p>This book is all about a giraffe named Gerald that wants to dance, but doesn&#8217;t seem to have the ability to dance at all. He goes to a jungle dance where all these other animals dance and do their thing and then he feels out of place. Eventually he runs across a cricket that gives him some sound advice. <\/p>\n<p>I think this is a great book because it helps to show younger children, that even though they aren&#8217;t as good at things as their friends and others, that it&#8217;s okay. It also shows them that sometimes they just have to find a different way to look at things and then it will all make sense to them. <\/p>\n<p>I recommend this book for any child because I think it has a wonderful moral that can help children for years to come. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Gerald the giraffe longs to dance, but his legs are too skinny and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6398"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10246,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6398\/revisions\/10246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
