Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Crisp, rhyming text and warm, appealing illustrations will make this counting book a favorite with the very young."

"Debuting author (and former children's bookstore owner) Ginkel keeps her rhymes simple and catchy, while Bynum (Altoona Baboona) uses chipper watercolors to dress up the pachyderms in silly outfits (including Superman pajamas and tutus) and place them in unlikely situations (sledding, going to scary movies). Preschoolers will likely enjoy the accumulation of affectionate elephants, the improbability of their behavior and the self-assurance of the plucky narrator."

"An entertaining addition to collections of counting tales."

"Matching the buoyant, gently humorous tone of the text are the sunny illustrations... Fun for reading aloud."

Reseña del editor:

I've Got an Elephant

Owning an elephant is terrific, but what happens when he gets lonely and invites a friend over? Every time a busy little girl goes out to school or to the movies or to the mall her elephant friends get lonely. They invite another elephant over and then they all join her in fun activities, from swimming in the local pool to dancing in her ballet class! As the number of elephants increases, so do their antics. Finally, the resourceful heroine finds her companions a new home where she can visit them...and make a few new friends too.Anne Ginkel is a former teacher in the United States and England.
