Would an elephant learn the ABCs if she went to school? No way! She would learn to use her trunk as a nose, a straw, a hand, and a hose!

Testimonials

"The simple patterned question-and-answer text invites audience participation, and the engaging soft-toned cartoon art is mildly amusing and perfect for group sharing. ... An appealing introduction to the animal world and a subtle entry to education."

School Library Journal

"The book does a precious job of getting very young readers to think about how different creatures have different features and abilities. Paired with non-fiction titles, it can be used as a tool for school-age youth to discuss animals, their natural habitats and unique traits."
