Overview / 简介: |
The day Gracie loses her favorite book, Elephant finds it. He sniffs the words ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS and--oops--they go up his trunk, where they wiggle and jiggle and make him sneeze. The letters fly through the air helter skelter, and when Elephant tries to put them back together, he can't figure out how to make the right words that fit. He asks his friends for help, but they just choose some of the letters to make up their own words--Alligator wants to CHEW them, Seal SPINs them, Monkeys THROW them, and Bear just SNOREs. Lucky for elephant, Gracie comes looking for her book. She makes the letters into the right words and then adds some of her own: a girl went to the zoo and made a new friend.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreS-Gr 1–Elephant is worried. It shows in his eyes. He has accidentally sucked up all the words in Gracie's favorite book. When he presents the blank-paged book to his friends, they don't know what to do. Instead of making words, Seal spins the letters around his nose, Monkey throws them around, and Alligator eats them. There are some tense moments when Gracie sees Elephant sitting on her lost book, so she pulls on his trunk and tickles it, and a big sneeze produces all the missing words. Pearson's humorous illustrations are drawn with a loose flowing line. An overlay of light watercolors brings to life Elephant's expressive face. Endpapers show him making the letters of the alphabet with this body. A lighthearted picture book for storytimes about friendship, cooperation, or books.–Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2013.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I thought the story was a cute and fun read to a very young child. The elephant accidently sucks up, into his trunk, the words in a book and goes to different animals to try to figure out how to get thee words out of his trunk, which a little girl helps him do. I thought it was very imaginative. I think it would be great for a 4 year old. |
