This is a fun story for the little ones that allows them to learn colours as well as rhyming. Each two-page spread has an open-ended rhyme which the reader needs to guess on their own. There is an elephant that is doing something and the answer, which is not actually part of the text, is hinted at in the illustration. The book is full of beautiful and entertaining illustrations of elephants of various colours participating in different activities. This little concept book is a fun way to help small kids identify and say various colours.

This would make a great read aloud book for young children learning their colours whether with a parent or in a small group or kindergarten classroom.

This books is absolutely beautiful! I thought it would be cute to look through, which it was, but I opened the cover and just fell in love with how gorgeous each page is. Definitely a wonderful children's book! ( )

I dream of an elephant is written in a smart rhymed way. In each page the reader dreams of an elephant of different color, and the last word of the paragraph, that is always the color, is missing. Since the text seems singed it easily induces the kids to shout the last word. It's a very interactive book, and this is definitively the best thing about it. Elephants of eleven different colors are portrayed. The pictures are very simple and, of course, very colorful. Excellent choice for toddlers.

Age range: up to 4 years old
