This story about Gerald—a friendly, yet clumsy giraffe—is told in rhythmic, rhyming text that keeps its own beat as it is read aloud. After Gerald is humiliated at the Jungle Dance, he meets a wise, violin-playing cricket who teaches him to discover his own unique and wonderful moves.

This playful book is written in simple, repetitive text, a perfect choice for emergent readers.

Children think about what it means to be big, bigger, and biggest in this language and fine motor skills activity--a perfect fit after reading Kevin Sherry's hilarious book I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean.

Turn the letter O into an underwater ocean scene. All it takes is blue glue, green paper, a few seashells, and some goldfish crackers. The completed O for Ocean artworks will look fabulous taped to sunny windows.
