I just finished reading Enormous Elephant with my 5 year old son Isaiah. He LOVED it! He often requests Michael Wills' books now that we've read more than a few together, and I think that Enormous Elephant is soon to be a repeat favorite, much like Towering Tiger.The pictures in the book were very well done, and the center of lots of discussion before we turned each page. Isaiah loved the jokes, and even knew the answer to what an elephant's nose is called, saying it out loud just before I read it in the book.Perhaps the coolest feature of these books is the fact that they teach kids some interesting facts about animals that they will remember for a long time to come, especially considering the number of times that they love to hear the same stories repeated. Isaiah was particularly impressed that elephants eat such vast quantities, and his imagination ran wild when we talked about how much an elephant weighs.Thanks for another great read!We're both looking forward to seeing more from Michael Wills.
