Elephant Elements Board book – January 1, 2001

by Pittau (Author)
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
See all formats and editions
Pittau and Gervais have managed to create a book which is stunning in design, visually humorous, but with a simplicity and naivety which will appeal to both children and adults alike. Each double page spread features a pair of elephants exhibiting contrasting features. The child-like style of the art is coupled with a sophisticated humour as the artists capture the essence of the opposites being described. This is the ideal gift book.

Top review from the United States

Sovay
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2006
This is a superb children's picture book, hilariously using elephants to demonstrate some obvious quantities, such as 'more' and 'less', and some less obvious quantities. A very simple, but thought provoking book; some parents may feel that some illustrations are not suitable for their child.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic in the making

I can't remember who gave my little girl this book but it is fantastic and I now buy it for everyone's children. There are very few words, just pictures across a spread showing opposites. It ends with "living" showing a live elephant and "dead" showing, well, you get the idea.

It's gently subversive, a bit black humoured in places, funny and clever. My little girl comes back to this book above and beyond all others. The pictures make her ask questions "why is that elephant alight mummy?" and has helped her with reading.

A top book.

Bought for my grand daughter as she loves elephants. I read it through first and was enchanted by it. Has the humour that children love and she is a bit lazy with reading but she loves to read it it so hope it helps her. It would make a good coffee table book for any age - great fun.

This book was shared with me by a friend and I had to buy my own copy straight away. I have enjoyed it as much as my class who think it is one of the best books we have read.

every baby should have one! Fun for parents to read also - which is always important. Not sure if particularly educational, if you are bothered about that sort of thing

One of my favourite books for teaching antonyms. Witty, clear, fun illustrations and a vocabulary builder. An excellent book for all ages and abilities to enjoy.
