He is the illustrator of the international bestseller Giraffes Can't Dance , as well as Dinosaurumpus! Giraffes Can't Dance is a touching tale of Gerald the giraffe, who wants nothing more than to dance. Giles is also the creator of the humorous stickman poet Purple Ronnie, and the philosopher/artist Edward Monkton. 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.

Upon his arrival in Exeter the giraffe was originally christened George as an affectionate tribute to King George. The man pulling the trigger way back in 1901 was big game hunter Charles Victor Alexander Peel, a hero of Empire and a man of his time. The big-game hunter must be endowed with great powers of endurance, self-denial, forbearance, and tact when dealing with the natives, and he must be able to act with great bravery, often at a moment’s notice. The animals and the easy rhymes make this really engaging, although my one gripe is that the overall message isn’t very clear.

Gerald is finally able to dance to his own tune when he gets some encouraging words from an unlikely friend.

It is a very nice story, written in rhyme format, as a lot of picture books are, and thankfully the rhyme is written well. Rebecca Rabbit thinks she is taller than Gerald because she measures her height to the top of her ears, but Gerald is still taller than Rebecca when he sticks his ears up too.
