A very cute story that isn't very hard to figure out. With colorful pictures and a funny plot this is a great book for your child. ( )

This weekend I was reading out loud for a kids' event, so I read a heap of kids' books. The last one I read was [1418913::How to Catch an Elephant] by [[Amy Schwartz]], which I saved for the 2-4year olds: it was such a rollicking good read, I wished I'd read it to the older groups, too. There's lots of action and entertainment, especially for such a short book. Recommend it (but not at bedtime - too exciting!); great fun.

The storyline is instructions by a little girl, with advice from her / your uncle Jack, on catching elephants, primarily using raisins and cake. The only thing is, I realised long afterwards, I'm not sure how you're supposed to use said raisins and cakes to actually capture your pachyderm - but who cares; it gets captured, and we all had loads of fun along the way!

A fun read-aloud for almost any crowd. ( )

The kids really liked this funny "how-to" book :-) ( )
