Product description

Number One bestseller Giraffes Can't Dance from author Giles Andreae has been delighting children for over 20 years. Gerald the tall giraffe would love to join in with the other animals at the Jungle Dance, but everyone knows that giraffes can't dance . . . or can they?

A funny, touching and triumphant picture book story about a giraffe who finds his own tune and confidence too, with joyful illustrations from Guy Parker Rees and a foiled cover.

... wonderfully funny. - Independent

A fantastically funny and wonderfully colourful romp of a picture book. All toddlers should grow up reading this or hearing their parents read it aloud to them. - Daily Telegraph

A joyful read about an outsider who finds acceptance on his own terms.... there's also a simple moral about tolerance and daring to be different. - Junior

A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.
Wer bisher Bambi nur als Disney-Verfilmung kannte, hat nun die Möglichkeit, die 1923 erschienene Originalgeschichte von Felix Salten in einer ganz besonders prächtigen Ausstattung zu lesen.

Es lohnt sich!

Vom französischen Künstler und Illustrator Benjamin Lacombe kennen wir u.A. schon die Bebilderung zu Alice im Wunderland oder auch die Werke von Edgar Allan Poe, nun hat er auch die bewegende Tierfabel in seinem einzigartigen, zwischen magisch-melancholischem und morbide changierendem Stil neu illustriert.

Für Naturfreund*innen, Bibliophile, Erwachsene und (nicht mehr ganz junge) Kinder gleichermaßen.
