    my 2 year old son loves elephants, and we love reading this book about Oliver! If your child enjoys Danny and the Dinosaur, I highly recommend adding this book to your library! Very easy words- will be wonderful to use when he is learning to read!

    Make sure you realize this is the small size!! Some of the pages are cropped, and you don't get the full feel for the amazing artwork. We prefer the larger size book, which I found for $5 at Barnes & Noble, since the color strokes and color combinations are beautiful to see.

    My son is 6 and has been reading for a little bit now, he likes the story. It is a bit long (which seems typical of Syd's stories) but we break it up into two reads and that works for us.
