The Elephant and the Bad Baby

by Elfrida Vipont

Ages 3–5 Reading age 4 Picture book Set in everyday life funnyrhyming

An elephant takes a baby round the shops helping themselves to buns, pies and crisps, with a growing crowd of shopkeepers running after them.

A story about animals and children, funny and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–5, and at a reading age of about 4 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
