内容简介
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.
杰拉德是只长颈鹿,长脖子优美而纤细。可惜膝盖向外弯曲,腿瘦得骨头连着皮。
杰拉德不太会跳舞,每年他都担心灰在丛林舞会出丑。但是在一个美丽的月圆之夜,杰拉德发现,原来换一首音乐来跳舞,就可以变得独一无二…… 长颈鹿Gerald有着纤细而优美的脖子,这让他显得十分优雅。但是她不会跳舞,为什么这么说呢?因为他的膝盖向外弯曲,如果让他转个圈,他就会摔个四脚朝天。
一年一度的丛林舞会来到了,在这所有动物狂欢的日子里,长颈鹿却面临很大的难题,因为天生的缺陷,他实在不擅长跳舞。当动物们都完成表演之后,Gerald终于深吸口气,鼓足勇气上台时,却遭到了所有动物们的嘲笑。Gerald黯然转身,伤心地往回家的方向走去,内心充满悲伤和痛苦。
既然Gerald不会跳舞,为什么会有那么优美的跳跃呢?长颈鹿独自回家时,受到一只蟋蟀的点拨,突然有了感觉,居然优美的跳起舞来。这让陆续赶来的动物们惊讶目瞪口呆。
明亮的色彩,富有张力的画面,一气呵成的流畅感,让人忍不住一看再看。一个生机勃勃的丛林世界,在读者面前很好地呈现,生动而丰富,热闹而欢乐。图画和故事,完美地结合,相得益彰,互相映衬。

精彩书评
"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."
