Customer Reviews

Elephants are difficult to own

I used this to introduce the concept of rules and places to my first graders. It's a cute book that assumes that everyone happens to own a full-grown elephant and the exact reasons and consequences of why they do not belong at school. Very clever and cute.

Elephants are Cute!

I found this book really really cute. I picked it up as a potential book to use in a lesson about transportation. The illustrations are fun and adorable. The children got a kick out of the book becuase it's an adventure of the child who brought her elephant to school and all the mischief it gets in. I really suggest reading this book to your children for fun.
