Cute illustrations tell the story.

[Nicole Fellows · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun wordless picture book! The elephant gets put in jail because he sneezed and ruined everything. Then he sneezes again and gets himself out of jail. In the end he gets the girl too because she sneezes and he offers her a hankerchief. The pictures do a great job of showing the emotions of each of the characters which in my opionion, makes the whole story. I think kids would love it!

I love that this book's illustrations were all black and white, and looked to be drawn by a pen or pencil. The only words in the entire book were "Ah-Choo!" It shows a poor elephant getting into trouble, and sneezing along the way. The fact that the illustrations are simple in color and eleborate in detail give readers a new outlook on picture books.

This book was great. It is wordless but the emotions and details in the pictures perfectly show what is going on. It has humor and teaches about fairness, mercy , and justice. The elephant is way cute too!

Even though the book didn't have any words, I loved the events that took place. Even though the elephant got in trouble for sneezing, in the end it all worked out.

I thought it was a cute book, but I would have liked it to have color and I would like the picture's to be bigger.

This book was simple. The illustrations were black and white. The story will make children laugh and can be used when teaching about the different senses.

Mommy says: No words other than "Ah-choo" in this book, but it is adorable. Even good readers will like it, but those who don't yet read will love it!

Good picture book, but kind of weird at the end with him stealing the girl.
