The last time the elephant sneezed, he blew monkeys out of the trees, stripes off the zebra, and spots off the leopard. This rollicking new edition of the favorite nonsense verse again shows the panic that follows the elephant's dreaded announcement.

5.0 out of 5 stars
THIS BOOK IS GREAT!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!" (Hardcover)
I used to read this book to my son, John, when he was little and he absolutely loved it. He never tired of hearing me read it to him. John will soon be 27 years old, but he still remembers this story and so do I. The story is funny and involves a variety of jungle animals. It is also filled with suspense. Will the elephant sneeze -- or not? This book allows the reader to use several different voices and a lot of drama, something young children love. When my son grew older, I joined an acting troupe, memorized this story, and performed it in children's theater, with others acting out the parts of the various animals. It was always a hit! Somehow my original copy was lost and I have searched for years for another one. No one ever seemed to know about this book. I never even found anyone else who had ever read it. I am so happy that I now have a chance to get another copy and to get additional copies for all of the nieces and nephews in my family and for! ! the children and grandchildren of my friends. It will make a fantastic gift that will be greatly enjoyed and remembered for years. I highly recommend this story to people who have, know, or work with young children.

This review is from: "Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!" (Hardcover)
I selected this book at random from the Scholastic Book Club when I was in first grade. That was almost 30 years ago. I am an avid reader and this is my favorite book of all time. From the time my oldest son could sit still long enough to listen, he has heard it over and over again. One of my most memorable experiences as a parent was sharing this story with my son's Kindergarten class. You will not truly know the full power of this story until you read it to a group of fifteen or more 5- and 6-year-olds shrieking "PLEASE DON'T SNEEEEEEZE!" at the end of each page. By the end of the book, my ears were ringing. My orginal copy is very worn now, so I bought a new one for my son. I'm sending his teacher a copy as a thank-you for letting me share it with her class. Buy it, memorize it, share it, and, most of all, enjoy it!
