Thanks for the great review. I also enjoyed the book. I think this is a great idea for a book and also for anyone that knows someone with hearing loss. I think it also helps when it occurs with animals in the story so we can relate to them, but it's not quite so scary. I am adding this to my list of books to read.

It is a brilliant idea to enlighten children about managing the medical condition of hearing loss through stories and this book fabulously plays its role in telling the story.

I think it's a great topic for a children's book, since there are so many children suffering from hearing loss as per statistics. Not only for the sufferers but also for children who don't, as this can teach them how to engage with children that have hearing loss. Thanks for a great review.

I love the fact that the author created Eddie the Elephant as a source of inspiration for little boys and girls who have hearing loss. Every child should be represented, regardless of their disabilities, because it's important to show that what makes you different is what makes you unique.

I love reading children's book because they are simple, straight to the point with a unique message. I will read "Eddie the Elephant's Magical Ear" by Suzanne Picerno, to learn about Eddie, the Elephant and deafness.

I appreciate the way you described the soothing effects of the rhymes in the book. As I read through it, I could imagine how my young cousin, who is on the autism spectrum, would absolutely adore this soothing read. The effort put into the digital format is particularly noteworthy, considering the prevalence of children using tablets for entertainment nowadays. Thank you for the review!

Suzzane did a good job of narrating eddies story. Addressing the fact of being deaf is a good lesson for the community that will enhance their awareness. This will encourage other people with the same condition to seek help. These are nice lessons that need to be taught. Congratulations to the author.

Suzanne Picerno, MA, MBA has chosen wisely the children's story genre to teach children about hearing impairment and how to deal with it. The choice of Eddie the elephant and the spider as the main characters is simply brilliant. I have friends with hearing impaired children. I would like them to read this book. Your review is well written. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I like that this book is tailored to help children understand a specific condition. It will help raise awareness for the condition and help those recently suffering from hearing loss to adjust to the change. Adults reading the book will also better understand how hearing loss can affect someone. Thank you for the helpful review.

I'm already familiar with Eddie Elephant and the Apple Tree, so I know this book is a good children's book too. It educates the adults, so they may advise the kids with hearing loss and if the hearing loss kids can read, they can help themselves directly. Thank you for a wonderful review. I can't wait to read it.

With the fact that 32 million children suffer from hearing loss it is great that there is a book that helps everyone understand all the aspects of the problem. "Eddie the Elephant’s Magical Ear" by Suzanne Picerno is written so children and adults can empathizes with all those with hearing loss. As many children have adults in their lives with hearing loss this book could be a great read for many, many adults and children. I look forward to reading the entire book. Thank you.
