When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles Board book – July 11, 2017

This is a charming little board book. The story begins with the humorous fact that you happen to have an elephant, and your elephant has the sniffles. The book proceeds to give you advice on how to care for your beloved sick pachyderm. The fact that you don't want your elephant to start sneezing is stressed. This, of course, hints at the inevitable event. When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles appears to be part of a fun new series by Susanna Leonard Hill. I look forward to reading these delightful board books to my grandkids.

I just can't get enough of Susanna Leonard Hill's creative stories. When an Elephant Has The Sniffles is another sweet story in her collection of board books that are sure to delight. Poor Elephant has the sniffles and needs some TLC. Susanna knows just how to do that. Again, another great book in her collection. Add this one to the gift basket as well!

My 2 year old granddaughter loves elephants! She is going to love this book!!! The hard cover pages are perfect for a busy toddler!

For a toddler crazy about elephants great book!!

Love all the books and love the diversity of children, but what about the animals? Why are they always “he”? Steps in the right direction. Helpful for difficult discussions.

Really cute book

A very cute book with delightful illustrations!

When Your ELEPHANT Has the SNIFFLES, written by Susanna Leonard Hill and illustrated by Daniel Wiseman is the second delightful story just right for little ‘uns in the new series of When Your … books.As with When Your LION Needs a Bath, the first thing you’ll notice about this board book is the adorable illustrations. On the front cover is a miserable-looking elephant with flushed cheeks and lots of tissues. He obviously is not well. Oh dear.From the beginning of the story you know this little elephant needs some loving care. He is sniffling and has a fever, and the reader is informed that “you don’t want your elephant to start sneezing!”The little girl in the story sets out to care for her elephant. She removes anything that will make him sneeze. The illustrator, Daniel Wiseman, came up with a funny idea for this visual. She tucks her elephant into bed and makes sure he has all he needs. The clever touch you will notice as you read this book is his favourite stuffed toy is … the lion from the first book!The real challenge begins when Elephant becomes bored as a patient but who is not yet well enough to get out of bed. The little girl is reminded to not make him sneeze as she tries to entertain him with props she chooses. But what if it happens anyway? You find out on the very last page. It’s a cute ending – an awwww moment – that will make you smile with Elephant.This story, as with the first one, is not written in little words, or only three or four per page. It is written to be read to little ones. The uncomplicated, muted – with occasional splashes of bold colour – illustrations are well-suited to calm the child who is sick with the sniffles. When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles has definite child appeal so the child can fully appreciate what is being told. It will be fun for beginning readers to figure out the bigger words through remembering the story while feeling accomplished with the easier words. This story is for everyone’s reading pleasure.
