An Eye For Elephants


Steig, W. (1970). An Eye For Elephants. New York, NY: Windmill Books.

Brief Annotation: Have you heard the song about the elephant jumping the fence? If an elephant could do that, what would you pay to see and elephant do back flips while cracking whips and eating potato chips? Take a journey through pages of short rhymes to see what you would have to pay to see an elephant perform a whole bunch of wacky tasks!

Genre: Poetry

Grade Level:PreK-3

Readers who will like this: Readers who like elephants, have a sense of humor, and enjoy rhyme.

Response/Rating (1-4): 4. Entertaining, short poems on every page with humorous illustrations to accompany them. This book is full of valuable vocabulary and mentions several different types of world currency that could become a wonderful springboard for class lessons. Who ever knew elephants could do so much!

One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever heard the song about the elephant jumping the fence? How much did Miss Mary Mack have to pay to see him jump?
