If you cannot accept the first available slot, then you'll be offered two alternatives on later dates.

It's a story that children can read for themselves but it's also a good one for adults to read at bedtime. However, that's not to say that this is a bad book, so I'm not marking it down, I just don't think it stands out as well as the likes of Julia Donaldson. The illustrations are vibrant and have lots of things to point out while reading with a young one, and it’s the perfect length for story time at any time of day. Exeter's iconic Gerald the giraffe has led an eventful life which is even more poignant because it is 100 years since he moved to Exeter.

Along with all Masai giraffes, he was elevated to being a distinct species - giraffa tippelskirchi - rather than a subspecies of the northern giraffe - giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi. It is worth pointing out at the start that there is nothing special about this 20th Anniversary version of the classic 'Giraffes Can't Dance'.

Gerald was taken along with the other items too big to move into storage, and transferred with the help of cranes to the site’s natural history building, carefully wrapped to avoid damage.

Gerald Giraffe very kindly helps Peppa and her friends rescue the ball from the tree because he is tall enough to reach it. In the twenty years since Giraffes Can't Dance bounded into the world, it has become a favourite with children all across the globe. In his Popular Guide To Exhibition Of Big-game Trophies he wrote: “My advice to young men is, get out of these dirty, narrow-minded towns with their many temptations, and get into the clean country, where a man worries less, for he uses his body more and his brain less, with the inevitable result that he feels well and strong, and can see and appreciate around him the beautiful works – not of man, but of God. This is the only episode to air on Halloween instead of summer but they did not celebrate Halloween.

Many third party couriers also only deliver to your door meaning it is your responsibility to place the item in its desired location. Classic and heart warming picture book for toddlers, telling of a giraffe who feels sad that he can’t dance like all of the other animals in the jungle carnival but then, with the help of a wise little cricket, learns that everyone can dance when they find the music that they love - and he loves the moon, and becomes an amazing dancer. The prize exhibits were swiftly accepted, but only after the preparation of the specimens was financed by Sir Channing Wills of the tobacco family and a benefactor of the RAMM. This is a lovely story that incorporates several dance forms including waltz, tango, Scottish reel amd rock n roll.Gerald has a long neck and he has been shown to use it grab things that are high up, like in a tree. It is believed that he was wandering around the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, minding his own business and munching on the leaves of a tall acacia tree, when he was killed with a giant calibre hunting rifle. The scene then cuts to Gerald's parents, in which Peppa says to them that they're taller than the sky, and Mummy Giraffe says that due to her species, and Gerald says this due to their really old age, which makes everyone laugh as the episode ends.
