Giraffes Cannot Try to Dance (Step to the Reading) This Book for perfect children's and kids story book. Now read this book to your children. "Gerald was a tall giraffe whose neck was long and slim. But his knees were awfully crooked and his legs were rather thin." You have read this book probably a 100+ times (not an exaggeration) and more love it. Ever found a child book who didn't like this book, it's so cute. Great story, nice colorful illustrations. I highly recommend this book! (Picture book) "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." The rest of the book follows this pattern. Even the slow part at the middle of the book that begins with "Then he found a little clearing" uses the exact same chords as the warthogs part.
