LoveReading4Kids Says
Of course you shouldn’t call an elephant in an emergency, he’ll just tangle the fire hoses and cause a flood. Don’t let lemmings fly the rescue helicopter either, or rely on an anteater for a cave rescue (he’ll disgrace himself). These are just some of the ridiculous scenarios dreamed up by Patricia Cleveland-Peck in the latest in this hilarious picture book series, illustrations by David Tazzyman, his scribbly detail catching all the chaos and possibilities of the action. It’s great to read aloud and the action builds to a perfect, and perfectly funny conclusion. Peck and Tazzyman are the consummate picture book partnerships and each double-page is an brilliant adventure in its own right.

About This Edition
Patricia Cleveland-Peck Press Reviews
Praise for You Can't Let an Elephant Drive a Digger;
Perfect for children aged around 3 to 6, this is a great book to keep boredom at bay and put a smile on your faces - Booktrust
Praise for You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus:
... delightfully brought to life with David Tazzyman's quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes Publishers Association
The bold, caricature-style illustrations, rhyming couplets and varying font styles add to the humour Practical Pre-School
Everything that you could wish for in a picture book: humour, ridiculous situations and imagination-stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture-book writing and illustration at its very best Being a Mummy
David Tazzyman's scratchy style is a great match to this scatty, surprising picture book Books for Keeps
Chaotic, crazy, fabulously funny and full of humorously energetic illustrations, this is a book that promises to evoke giggles of glee from readers fortunate enough to come across it Eye, Eye
