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

Picked this up for my 4yr old daughter to listen to before bed and she loves it.
The book isn’t just the story, it’s also got some nice relaxing music throughout and Hugh Laurie has a great voice for the narration.

Daughter loves it!

Utterly charming
Amazing narration by Hugh Laurie
The accompanying music is so well done and compliments the story beautifully. Our 18mo loves it and I think we will all love it for years to come
