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.

This book is not what I expected. Turns out it's little poems about jungle animals.They're cute, but not full of information or anything. I like the idea of introducing young children to poetry, however, this is nothing special.  I do like the concept that the beginning of the book starts out in the morning, and it ends at night time.
