A great book to read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Its a great action book to read to toddlers. You can could get them to be fully involved in the plot of the book. My four year old could not stop laughing the first time I read him this book. He thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lots of laughs and giggles

How do you catch an elephant? Easy...all you need are three cakes, two raisins, one telescope and a pair of tweezers. This is a silly, funny book that will charm your pre-schoolers. The repetitive format makes for easy reading and younger children will be able to "help" you read. The illustrations are simple and colorful. An all around winner. You can't go wrong with this book.
A great romp for the imaginative

Catching an elephant is easy, if you have the right attitude. This is a great, silly story, with just the right amount of goofiness and the right amount of deadpan to leave kids giggling on the floor. Have some raisins and a telescope handy, because they'll probably want to try it for themselves!
What? No more raisins?

Very enjoyable! A laugh out loud book of a perfect length. Itis great for 3-5 year olds who enjoy silly stories. I have to readthis book at least twice a day to my child. END

This book is such fun to read with children as young as 3 years old. The repetitive nature of the story encourages participation of the young listener. The joy of the story is it's funny and ludicrous. I hope that this writer keeps on keeping on!
