This story is about a giraffe called Gerald who canât dance. At least he canât dance very well. As a result, he gets teased by the other animals. After a devastating encounter at the local 'Jungle Dance', he is laughed out of town. With the guidance of a wise and gentle cricket, Gerald learns to listen to the sounds around him and to his own body, and is able to dance so well that the other animals are left in awe. The message of this lovely rhyming tale is that it is okay to be different and dance to the beat of our own drum.
