Picture Book


"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!" is the sweet tale of the elephant who needs to sneeze but is begged not to by all the other animals of the forest. The last time he sneezed, he created major problems for everyone else, and his animal friends fear what will happen this time. This book is beautifully illustrated by Wallace Trip, whose exquisite pictures could be used help to teach about animals and their habitats. This book is geared toward younger children and could also be used to teach characterization, predicting, plot, and conflict. Thomas, Patricia. (1990). "Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!". HarperCollins.
