About this title

Synopsis

“He no longer stuck out, his height no longer laughable. But with his head hanging low, he felt most ungiraffeable.”

Gerome does not like the attention he draws due to his height.  He finds a way to keep a low profile but knows he isn’t being genuine. He is finally able to fully embrace his height, and its advantages, when his concern for another becomes greater than his concern for himself.

Through storytelling, Baxter’s Corner^TM pursues its mission to inspire young children to develop positive social skills that affect behavior choices. Each book features fun filled pages that Go Beyond the reading with a series of questions and learning activities that focus on an important point for your young listener or reader, including:

• “What do you think” questions
• Fun facts about the featured animals
• Social skill activities
• “Stop and think” situations that show the effects of choices we make

“Gerome Sticks His Neck Out is definitely character building reading for young readers, teaching respect for others and a positive awareness of community. “

James A. Cox, Editor, Midwest Book Review
Children’s Bookwatch, The Social Issues Shelf

“Gerome Sticks His Neck Out is an engaging and stimulating book for young children. Lessons about friendship and standing up for what’s right are the dominant themes in this sweet story.”Kristina Davis Christensen, M.Ed. Head of School

“Gerome Sticks His Neck Out is fun and short and also deals with a serious topic that many children might face. ... I find that this short story fits well into every kids book collection and it’s a great way to talk to your children about friendship, bullying, self-esteem and so on.”
