Mama Elephant wants 5 minutes, but her three children have other ideas.
  NMiller22 | Aug 2, 2019 |
This is one of my favorite books from my childhood so I love reading it to my class and they find it just as silly as I did! A mama elephant just wants five minutes of peace from her little ones but can't seem to get it. Whatever she is doing, her children always find a way to join in. ( )

I love this book series. This is a funny book that kids can relate to with their parents asking for a break. ( )
