Would I recommend this book? Yes, it was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Brief Summary (no spoilers): All Gerald wants is to have fun at the Jungle Dance. However, Gerald is not a very good dancer. Sometimes, you just need a different song.
What I liked/ didn’t like: I love the colourful illustrations of all the African animals, and I think the resolution is really nice and positive.
What the book teaches you: You learn that sometimes when things are hard, you just need to switch up your tune.

 

Giraffe coloring pagesThere's nothing I enjoy better during mommy/daughter time than coloring some coloring pages. I find coloring soothing.
