Being a forgetful elephant has never been as hilarious as Edmund and how he prepares for his younger brother's birthday party.

Edmund is a very forgetful elephant, which isn't helpful when his mother sends him out to get several items for his little brother's birthday party. Of course, she gives him some help: a song and a list. When the list is forgotten as soon as he leaves the apartment door, a tiny friend tries to help him out. But his help might turn out to be a disaster.

Humor hits every page as Edmund tries his serious best to get everything his mother asked him to. It's impossible not to feel for him as he first loses the list, and then, can't seem to get everything right. After all, he is trying so hard and really has only the best intentions in mind. His mistakes are so out there, that giggles are guaranteed. It was super fun to see what mistake he would make next because it was bound to be more ridiculous than anything that could be imagined.

The illustrations in this one aren't only fun, but they guarantee being gazed at again and again. There are tons of details to discover, and if that wasn't enough, the illustrator has hidden two characters to search for in each one.

And to round things off, there is a bit of a message in this one, too. It's just a nice twist to leave a last smile on the face and keep the good feelings high.

I received a complimentary copy and fun this to be such a fun read.… (mehr)
