This book seemed like an appropriate choice for today. Don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve been sneezing up a storm ever since the green things started growing. I’ve heard all the science; the spring arriving late made the plants and trees all go overboard to catch up, but that doesn’t exactly make the sneezing stop. Or even slow down a bit, I mean, seriously!

So I’m guessing that I’m not the only one who can sort of identify with the poor old elephant. And empathize with everyone else who has to live through the onslaught.

like these monkeys,

and the panicked parrot,

and check out the way elly is strangling that little tree trying to suppress his sneeze.

and the scaredy-bear.

Hope you all got a chuckle out of this vintage children’s book
