Monet Inspired Art BLURB : Room 3 read the story called "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae. They wrote stories about Gerald the giraffe and drew these awesome pictures of him. The animals said giraffes can't dance. Gerald went away all alone. He looked up at the moon. The cricket told Gerald you need to listen to the music you love. Then he could dance. Then he showed the other animals then the animals said "amazing." By Mia R Gerald couldn't dance. The cricket said "listen to the music." Then Gerald felt himself dance. Then he did a backwards somersault in the air. By Dexto

By Mia M Gerald the giraffe couldn't dance and then he went to see the other animals so he walked away. By Awatea
