"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!"

"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!"

by Patricia Thomas, Wallace Tripp (Illustrator)
Publisher: HarperCollins
Hardcover, 32 pages
Price: $16.99

The last time the elephant sneezed, he blew monkeys out of the trees, stripes off the zebra, and spots off the leopard. This rollicking new edition of the favorite nonsense verse again shows the panic that follows the elephant's dreaded announcement as all the animals try to prevent the elephant from sneezing.

  Read This Aloud With A Straight Face

Just try reading this book aloud without laughing. If you can, you should go join a poker tournament, its that funny.
Written as a rhyme, each page has a complete verse that later is repeated when the elephant, well, you need to read it. My personal favorite is the alligator's snout that turns inside out. A classic child's book and a must for every bookshelf.
