5.0 out of 5 stars The Tried and True Cure, March 30, 2011

Early readers will relate to this childhood problem. All of the friends offer cures for the hiccups elephant has after he has managed to wake his friends up one by one. This is a humorous story with pictures to match. The text is easy to read but with enough substance to maintain high interest. The illustrations give enough detail to assist early readers with clues for the vocabulary. Count this one in a collection for your beginning reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Easy Reader, January 29, 2010

This review is from: Hiccups For Elephant (level 2) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)

Reason for Reading: My son read aloud to me. I chose this book because I wanted something he could read in one sitting this day.

Comments: Elephant has the hiccups and his friends each tell him a sure fire way to get rid of them. He tries each way and none of them work until Mouse's suggestion. But with the hiccups gone, the book ends with a surprise twist. Honestly, I didn't expect much from this book but was pleasantly surprised with the fun time we had reading it. At this reading level, the book is well written, engaging and funny. Ds particularly found one scene hilarious and he had me read it in unison with him three times before we continued on with the story. The ending is funny and I recommend it to beginning readers.

This review is from: Hiccups For Elephant (level 2) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)

I think that this book is a great learn how to read and easy reader book. It blends laughs and learning. My sister read it to me and she loved it. She kept reading it for the next few nights. She thought it was very funny and I think she learned a lot of reading skills from this book. After the few days she complained it was too short, so I think that it would of been better if it was a little longer but still easy. I did think it was kind of short when my sister read it, but other than that i think that this is a great buy if you have kids learning to read. If you have a kid that's beginning to read i think that this book would be a great buy for you.
