I have a 1960 edition of Oliver and love to read it with my kids. Oliver the elephant has a simple and friendly conversation with everyone he meets throughout his day. This is one polite elephant. Mr. Hoff's unique use of colors and the light-hearted story will amuse you and make you want to search out more of his books. I have to admit that's why I logged on to Amazon today--and was flabbergasted to find 127 titles pop-up when I did a search on "Syd Hoff". Looks like I've got some work to do!

Amazon has this book available through their 4-for-3 promotion. Take advantage of the savings and build your child's book collection.

Like Danny's Dinosaur, Oliver the Elephant is a kindly big fellow with the heart of a child. Naturally, my two young boys loved the idea of playing with an elephant who would let them ride on his back and slide down his trunk.

My sons' bookshelf holds roughly 80-100 books and Syd Hoff has three titles in our collection -- Oliver, Danny and the Dinosaur and Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur.

This is a fun book for children to read. Stronger readers need very little help reading the book.

My 3-year-old daughter saw this book advertised on the back of another one by the same author and asked (OK, demanded, but I made her say "please") that I buy her a copy. She loves it, so that means it's a good book as far as I'm concerned.

Great book. Great story. Great pictures. My son loves all of Syd Hoff's books.

I think my daughter, a teacher, recommended this to me for my little boy - We liked it

I really enjoy reading this beautiful story with my children. I recieved what i expected service and quality.

I bought this book for my grandson. He is beginning to read. He enjoyed this book!
