Critic Reviews

An inspiration.
A wonderful, light-hearted story.
A hit with young children since it was first published 10 years ago
A can-do story with lively pictures and an immensely pleasing text.
Brilliant use of colour, a continual sense of movement and high good humour all help to make this picture book richly enjoyable.
A gloriously colourful and lively book with a strong message.
Superb...a wonderfully funny book.
Extraordinary and exuberant...a terrific tale and a positive message about celebrating difference.
This rhyming poem is excellent.
Managed to capture the hearts of countless children. A modern classic.
A fantastically funny and wonderfully colourful romp
A lovely rhyming picture book about understanding differences
Lovely
This is a lovely story that incorporates several dance forms including waltz, tango, Scottish reel amd rock n roll. I have also used the story to introduce infant classes to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and had them playing along with it
Giraffes Can't Dance ... has been a bestseller for more than 15 years - and for good reason ... There's a very powerful message in there about daring to be different, and accepting others too
This rhyming story will delight young children and get them popping along with the rhythm
