How Many Elephants?: A Lift-the-Flap Counting Book

by Selby B. Beeler

Pay no attention to the elephants dancing behind you! The running visual joke in this lift-the-flap counting book will provoke more giggles with every new number.
Let's count things.
How many elephants
are in your closet?
Well, as every child knows, that's a silly question! See, no elephants in here! Zero! Let's get on to more reasonable things to count: shoes behind the curtain, markers in the box, toy dinosaurs in the drawer. And no, there are still no elephants in the closet -- though someone seems to have left a trail of peanut shells in there. And why are ten pachyderms partying outside the window?

We are going through a serious obsessed with elephants stage, so any books with any elephants is a total hit in this house. I thought the book was pretty cute. Nothing stand out awesome that put it in front of the pack of counting books, but still really cute. The illustrations were well done and who doesn't love a lift the flap book?

A lift the flap counting book. I used this for the Tiny Tots group, but it may be better suited for the pre-school crowd. They did like the suspense of what was behind the flaps and surprisely they enjoyed counting too, but there were a few wigglers!
