What a great book! This fun wordless picture book illustrates an elephant who gets put in jail for sneezing. Although he is in jail, he works his way out of jail and wins over a girl. This story will make you smile and may even make you laugh!
This picture book is fictional because it is about an elephant that sneezes. The art in this book is black and white sketches. The content is about an elephant that sneezes really loud because he smelled some flowers. He got put in jail for sneezing really loud, he even blew the jail down when he sneezed. A rino then smelled the flowers and then she started sneezing. Then is shows a picture of them walking away together. The reading level is any level because there arr no words. The curricular connection is art.
First grade level book. Could be used to make predictions about what may happen. Could also be used to make up own story for students.
This book is wordless. It is about an elephant who is guilty of sneezing. In the end of the book he finds a female elephant that sneezes just as much as himself and they live happily ever after.(Pre-K)

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures. Mayer was one of the first illustrators to be credited for using this format. Five more books in this series were to follow. Mayer joined Golden Publishing, creators of Little Golden Books, in 1976. Through them he has sold his "Little Critter" and "Little Monster" series, which are popular with beginning readers. His title Just Me and My Dad made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. In 2015, his title Little Critter: Just a Little Love, also made the list. His holiday book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is also a bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
