Slide4Synopsis
The story is about a giraffe, called Gerald. He cannot dance like the other animals in the jungle, so they laugh at him. However, Gerald meets a friend, who encourages and helps him with his problem.

Slide6What have you learnt from the story?
But
an encouraging word
from an unlikely source shows this glum giraffe that those who are different "just need a different song," and soon he is prancing and sashaying and boogying to moon music (with a cricket accompanist).
In the vein of
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
, Gerald's fickle "friends" quickly decide he's worthy of their attention again. With this rhyming, poignant (in a cartoonish way) tale, Giles
Andreae
shows insecure young readers that
everyone can be wonderful
, even those that march to the beat of a different cricket.
