Looking for a fun way to celebrate learning or to introduce a young child to the concept of school? Ellen Fischer’s delightful picture book If an Elephant Went to School does just that by introducing an array of lovable animals as students.

But Elephant, Owl, Zebra, Frog, Eel, Bee, Skunk, Caterpillar, and Platypus aren’t just going to learn the ABCs! Each has his or her own skills to master, and if you’re a pachyderm that might just include learning to use your nose as a straw, a hand, or a hose! What fun!

Laura Wood’s adorable illustrations are a perfect complement to the humorous text that make you want to grab your lunchbox and head for the yellow bus! At this school, you can share a classroom with colorful bees that make delicious honey, a purple eel that can swim backwards, or a zebra that can sleep standing-up––without a pillow! However, you might want to stay a safe distance from skunk!

Mighty Media Kids has published another winner in this companion book to If an Armadillo Went to a Restaurant. It combines fun with a purpose as it introduces children to different animal behaviors while advancing a positive attitude towards learning. A terrific addition to a little one’s library!
