The BOTD is an entertaining tale that is also an educational guide about hearing impairment. Despite the characters being personified animals, there are an array of lyrical tips on how to navigate hearing loss. Nice review.

Oh my i really appreciate the author for this splendid book. Just like Eddie the elephant anyone can loose their sense of hearing and its no where near nice. I appreciate the book for the detailed information on how to deal with these especially for children. Nice review too in great detail and enhancing desire to know what happens next. Congratulations to today's BOTD too.

That's hilarious; ‘loss of his ear’ definitely translate into hearing loss in my mother-tongue. But the topic is, of course, serious. I think the selection of an elephant will help connect with children because of the size of its ears.

What an inspirational book for all those eddies out their, in such a positive manner author has described the problem and solution both at same time, the bond between itsy withy spider and eddie is full of trust.
The friendship like these two needs to be developed with kids for easy understanding. Kids are not opened up to explain their pain, but with this story it looks like we have found a way!

I think this amazing book's intention is to teach children all aspects of the loss of hearing medical condition, especially those suffering from it. It also helps the other kids empathize with the ones who lost their hearing. Reminding everyone to be grateful for the many things they take for granted. Thanks for this engaging review!

Today's book focuses on a subject that is rarely encountered in children's literature. It is a charming narrative that inspires youngsters with hearing impairments.

This sounds like a good story for children to read. An elephant with a hearing disability will teach kids that there are, unfortunately, all kinds of health problems in this world, and that people with disabilities are just as important as the rest of us. I am sure this book will also relatably explain this specific condition. The illustrations seem adorable.

It is awful to hear statistics that "32 million children globally suffer from hearing loss". In fact, any ailing child is unbearable, since they are small and precious for suffering and exposure to pain. I hope this book will help some kids to bear and adapt better. Sincerely congratulations on BOTD!

It is disheartening to know that so many children have to experience this world without being able to hear. I'm happy that such a book exists for children. I hope it can make the intended impact, and I sincerely wish I get the opportunity to review this book. Congrats on the BOTD!
