Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant

Slightly wordy for a kid who has a hard time sitting through a whole story, but right on the mark as far as content. This book was fun and informative and helps open a dialog with your child about how they are feeling. The characters are perfect, the story is wonderful and my five year old and I really enjoyed it. Well worth your time and money!!

This story did not work for us at all. The story seems to old for the type of kiddy picture book it is. I'm not sure what kid whould like this one.

This was perfect for our needs.

I wasn't overly impressed by this. I don't feel that my son, 7 years of age, really connected to it.

My 7 year old son loved this book and I was thankful to have found it quite by accident. Halfway through the book, he turned to me and said 'We have something in common; I can not sit still and I feel jumpy inside.' And I watched as he teared up when Eukee talked to the doctor about having trouble with friends. By the end, when Eukee is excelling with his sticker chart, my son was ecstatic as he talked about his own behavior plan. It opened the door to a wonderful conversation about learning challenges and differences.

...elephants don't jump. If an author is going to start trying to relate some hyperactive kid to something, at least get a little more grounded in reality.Second, just another entry into the series of books such as "A.D.D. not BAD" (oh, how clever), designed to do nothing other than patronize and give the "green light" into, not only acting up, but simple bad behavior. It's ok to be a miscreant because it's not your fault. Whatever you do, it's not your fault. If this is the message you want to convey to your kids, this is the book for you.If however you wish your kids to be accountable for the actions, despite whatever "conditions" they may have, and instill in them some sense of right and wrong, avoid this garbage.

I do not agree with this approach, therefore returned the book!
