Three Cheers for Tacky

 Three Cheers for Tacky by Helen Lester
4
Silly Tacky, he tries his best to be like the other penguins, but he has his own style. There are many Tacky the Penguin books, this one is about Tacky and his friends entering a cheer contest. Tacky never get's it right, but the day of the contest, it turns out that Tacky's silliness keeps the audience laughing and so he's the star of the show, just being himself. A funny self confidence book.

Giraffes Can't Dance

 Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae
4
This is a cute book about a party in the jungle and the other animals make fun of clumsy Gerald the Giraffe.He goes off by himself and sees a cricket (are they in the jungle?) who encourages Gerald to listen to the sounds of the jungle, the grass, the wind, the trees, and finds out he really CAN dance, much to the amazement and encouragement of his other jungle friends.An encouraging self-confidence book told in rhyme.
