THis is a precious story. All of the stories offered with the Read with Me player are all great classics. This one was a new one for us, and Cameron enjoyed it. I think my son really enjoyed this story. Someone also gave him the hard back book for his birthday, and he loves this one. I think any read with me dvd offered it a great one. They are either new or timeless classics and they can learn to read, follow along while they listen or play the games relating to the story after. It makes learning fun. Buy all of them, we own them all. Great concept and I hope they offer more in the future. I think they just needed to market it better during the year before the holidays....awesome learning toy.
Parents like it too! I got this for my 6 year old nephew who was adopted from Africa. He is learning English and this is a really sweet story that happens to resonate with him particularly. He is often shy and tentative in his almost all white school and with shaky English skills. This story about a clumsy Giraffe that finds his own music to dance to is so inspiring and hopeful. My feminist sister says it would be good for any kid that feels a little bit different, and for 'normal' kids to look for 'different' kids' special talents. I like the animation which is really good, especially for a children's product. It was a crowd pleasure for everyone and it's broken into managable segments so you can play for as little as 10 minutes or as much as 2 hours. There is a fun play along dance game that brought all of us to our feet after Thanksgiving dinner. We danced for over half an hour kids and adults!
