Synopses & Reviews
Never ride your elephant to school. And if you need to be convinced, boy, do you need to read this book! It's not that the elephant is such a troublesome or unruly one, it's just that his natural exuberance combined with his rather distinctive size pose some very particular problems. Imagine an elephant sitting in a school desk, climbing rope in gym class, or playing tether ball at recess and you'll see what we mean!
The team who warned you Never to Babysit the Hippopotamuses! joins forced again to create another hilarious, raucous, good-time book that will appeal to anyone who's ever spent a day at school.
Review
"The understated wit of the text is comically complemented by the zany watercolors of wreaked havoc. Both the words and art make use of every opportunity to mock teachers, but its all in good fun." --
Kirkus Reviews"Sure to prompt smiles in story hours."--School Library Journal
