- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A really fun book I read with my youngest son.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A short and cute book. It was well illustrated. A little short on the scientific basis but it is a children's book. Thus, we lie to them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a cute book. The version I have is shorter and redesigned for children. This book was about a very curious elephant that wanted to know why why why. One day he asked what the Crocodile ate for breakfast and embarked on his own journey to find out. His aunts, uncles, and parents all spanked him for not being obedient but he continued to ask questions and wonder. This book could be used when teaching on discipline and consequences. Also, you could introduce this book when teaching about outcomes and how sometimes they are good and sometimes they aren't so good. This book would be for appropriate for lower elementary students. The words aren't very difficult and the pictures are fun to look at.
