This book is a combination of an incredibly meaningful story and a delightful series of illustrations to accompany the words. It will be a story to remember because of the simple beauty of a children's tale that combines a lesson of tolerance.The author and the illustrator must be congratulated for a work of brilliance in creating a setting for a happy learning experience.

5Meaningful and Insightful  Nov 13, 2009
By Sara
MEANINGFUL AND INSIGHTFUL

When I was in grade school, one item of the curriculum was always brotherhood. We had appropriate songs to sing and discussions about this. Now, with the increasing concern about being PC and about statewide exams, it seems that even for the lower grades this is not as much of a concern for our children.

How wonderful to find a book that prepares little ones for these ideas so that they understand brotherhood and tolerance even before they start school. The Yellow Elephant is a perfect friend to empathisize with, even for little ones. The Yellow Elephant: Teaching Tolerance To Tots

5Children learning acceptance of others  Nov 10, 2009
By Albert Sicignano "Hiker"
I purchased the book for our local library. At a recent Saturday group reading the children's understanding of the book and their questions after the reading impressed me. I think it is an excellent book for group readings and discussion among young children.

5Adorable new book!  Nov 08, 2009
By Ilana Eisenhart "Gingbud"
This is a very charming and wonderfully written story that teaches tolerance to young children. The yellow elephant will melt your heart. The illustrations are colorful and imaginative. My daughter is in Kindergarten and my son is in nursery school. They both love to look at the book themselves as well as having me read it to them. You will find yourself chanting "I'm really not a Yellowphant, I'm just another elephant" for days! Highly recommend this book to anyone with young children.
