Hi, you did a wonderful description of the elements in this children's book. The charming weasel and the observant dog are a great duo. Does this story teach children how to deal with uncomfortable situations? I imagine it does. Charm and the skills of observation go a long way to dealing with an elephant in the room. Thank you for your review. :techie-studyinggray:

THe book sounds charming and witty to keep children interesting and engaged. I also like that such things as spontaneity and randomness are encouraged in the book which is a good lesson for kids. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I loved reading your fabulous review! I sampled this book, and, like you, I fell in love and felt engaged instantly, and the sample left me feel wishing for more. I agree with your perfect rating, and I also liked the paper-theatre-like illustrations. The elephants may become more prominent further in the book, but Cramer the Dog and his detective partner Sammy the Weasel stole the scene! :)

Seeing this book title, I thought the story would be something explaining the idiom, an elephant in the room. But I see that it's a children's book about an actual elephant in the room. I find that interesting.

Sammy the Weasel and Kramer the Dog’s rapport seems to work for them and the readers, as they provide laughter through their antics. Sammy missing the obvious clues is hilarious. The three-dimensional feel of the illustrations provides for a more engaging experience for the children. Your review definitely grabbed my interest in reading this book.

Thank you for an amazing review!!
Sounds like a beautiful book.
I like that it can be read alone, despite being the third installment of the series. Sammy and Kramer's personalities sound like something to be explored and enjoyed. I also can't help being curious as to what really was roaming in the house.

In this book,the Elephant(s) in the Room, is full of characters , making findings to provide solutions to problems . The Dog tries to convince his friend, Sammy the Weasel, that elephants are roaming inside the house. , As they embark on a detective adventure to solve this mystery.Also ,the author of this book did a nice job and the review as well. But because is a children's book, the words should be in a simple English language to the readers especially the children. Thanks

"The Elephant(s) in the Room" sounds like an incredible and interactive book for children. Children will enjoy it, with plenty of attitude, mystery, and humour in it. I also like the fact that it will improve their vocabulary level. I need to get a copy of the book for my 6-year-old daughter. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!
