適讀人群 :3-5歲 Gerald the giraffe doesn't really have delusions of grandeur. He just wants to dance. But his knees are crooked and his legs are thin and all the other animals mock him when he approaches the dance floor at the annual Jungle Dance.
內容簡介
Gerald the giraffe longs to dance, but his legs are too skinny and his neck is too long. At the Jungle Dance, the warthogs waltz, the chimps cha-cha, and the lions tango. Giraffes Can't Dance, they all jeer when it's Gerald's turn to prance. But with some sound advice from a wise cricket, Gerald starts swaying to his own sweet tune.
傑拉德是隻長頸鹿,長脖子優美而縴細。可惜膝蓋嚮外彎麯,腿瘦得骨頭連著皮。
傑拉德不太會跳舞,每年他都擔心灰在叢林舞會齣醜。但是在一個美麗的月圓之夜,傑拉德發現,原來換一首音樂來跳舞,就可以變得獨一無二…… 長頸鹿Gerald有著縴細而優美的脖子,這讓他顯得十分優雅。但是她不會跳舞,為什麼這麼說呢?因為他的膝蓋嚮外彎麯,如果讓他轉個圈,他就會摔個四腳朝天。
一年一度的叢林舞會來到瞭,在這所有動物狂歡的日子裏,長頸鹿卻麵臨很大的難題,因為天生的缺陷,他實在不擅長跳舞。當動物們都完成錶演之後,Gerald終於深吸口氣,鼓足勇氣上颱時,卻遭到瞭所有動物們的嘲笑。Gerald黯然轉身,傷心地往迴傢的方嚮走去,內心充滿悲傷和痛苦。
既然Gerald不會跳舞,為什麼會有那麼優美的跳躍呢?長頸鹿獨自迴傢時,受到一隻蟋蟀的點撥,突然有瞭感覺,居然優美的跳起舞來。這讓陸續趕來的動物們驚訝目瞪口呆。
明亮的色彩,富有張力的畫麵,一氣嗬成的流暢感,讓人忍不住一看再看。一個生機勃勃的叢林世界,在讀者麵前很好地呈現,生動而豐富,熱鬧而歡樂。圖畫和故事,完美地結閤,相得益彰,互相映襯。

精彩書評
"All the jungle's got the beat, but Gerald the giraffe has four left feet. Such is the dilemma in this British team's bouncy if didactic picture book about self-esteem. As a multitude of fleet-footed beasts eagerly 'skip and prance' at the annual Jungle Dance in Africa, Gerald feels sad 'because when it comes to dancing/ he was really very bad.' Jeered by waltzing warthogs and cha-cha-ing chimps when he attempts to cut a rug, Gerald hangs his head and leaves the celebration behind. Luckily, a friendly cricket appears in the moonlight, chirping a morale-boosting song of self-confidence that soon sets Gerald in graceful motion. Andreae's rhyming text has a jaunty rhythm that's likely to spark interest in the read-aloud crowd, in spite of a heavy-handed message. Parker-Rees's kicky depictions of slightly anthropomorphic animals boogying on the dance floor are the highlight here. His watercolor and pen-and-ink artwork exudes a fun, party vibe."
