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.

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.

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.

The book Hiccups for Elephant is a great children's book. It is about an elephant that has the hiccups. The other animals in the book are trying to sleep. But elephant can't because he has the hiccups. Elephant wakes them up on accident. So in the story all the animals work together. So they can find a way he will stop hiccupping. The book is funny and teaches a great lesson. About how important it is to work together and try to figure things out. This book I think is for kids between ages 4 -7 years old. This is a great book and it's funny. With the small words it helps children learn to read.It's a great book for the kids.The person reading it will enjoy it too.

My son enjoys this book very much. when he gets to the hiccups word, he makes a hiccup sound. It is a great book for children who have just started reading.

Hiccups for Elephant is a great book for beginning readers because it's short, funny for the young'ens, and the letters are big and easy to see. This book is about a groups of animals trying to take a nap, but one has hiccups, the elephant. The animals wake up one at a time to try and help the elephant fall asleep. I strongly recommend this book for parents that are trying to get their kids to learn how to read. FORGET hooked-on-phonics. Why waste money on cheap carp when you can spend 3 bucks on this or less. GET THIS BOOK.

Just wanted to let the readers know that the review for "Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf" is not a review for HICCUPS FOR ELEPHANTS and landed on this page by mistake.

This is a great book to read to even the youngest readers. My daughter is almost 2 and LOVES this book. We read it three or four times each time we sit down to read. And from other reviews, it will continue to be a great book for when she is learning to read.

I realize this is a book meant for beginning readers, but I've found that preschoolers really love it too. I teach young children and I like books that include sounds. Children love to join in on the "hiccups" as well as making all the animal sounds. They relate to the problem of having hiccups, and laugh at the funny ways Elephant tries to get rid of the hiccups. Afterwards we talk about all the ways they (the children) have tried to get rid of hiccups. It's a very fun little book.

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf was an all right book! It was about how trees are planted, which leafs belong to which trees, and also how workers come and pick up tree sprouts to get transplanted and they tend them year after year then once the trees start to settle in they get measured, marked, and then uprooted again the workers load the tree up and take it to a place where people can go and buy it and re-plant it in their yard and that's what the kid in the story did! I don't think kids would really enjoy this book because it was pretty boring in my opinion but also very educational to the point kids would learn many things from this book!
