My son got this book for Christmas and absolutely loves it. We've read it five times already - it's looking like his new favorite. The story is about a giraffe going to the annual animal dance party, but because his legs are so long and his neck is so skinny, he can't dance very well and everyone makes fun of him. He leaves the party feeling embarrassed and sad, until a cricket tells him that perhaps he was just trying to dance to the wrong song. The giraffe listens to the wind and gazes at the moon, and before he knows it he's dancing beautifully, having found his confidence. Charming tale, made all the better by the Tag system. It's really helped my son learn new words and attempt reading on his own, and all the little character noises make it so much fun!

My daughter has about 17 Tag books. This was the second or third books she recvd and it STILL remains on of her favorites! Any amazing amount of characters on the pages to "listen to" beyond the book text. The games at the end are fantastic! I learned facts about instruments that I didn't know. This book has a great message, colorful graphics, amazing music. With all the TAG books that I have personally sat/played thru with my daughter, this would be the one I give to other or new TAG owners. No regrets whatsoever!

I was a little hesistant about this book....not really sure what it was about. But I bought it anyway. Glad I did! My son loves music, so it was a great addition to those learned skills. It's also really good to teach about confidence. Poor Gerald doesn't think he's a good dancer, so he doesn't even try. It's not until the cricket teaches him to let go of what others think and do what you feel....does Gerald learn to dance beautifully! It also teaches different dance styles, instruments and sounds. My son has also gotten really good at rhyming! It's fun to watch him learn so much from a book!
