Wow, your review of "The Elephant(s) in the Room" is incredibly detailed and engaging! I loved how you delved into the characters' personalities and the clever way the authors crafted Sammy and Kramer. Your insights into the vocabulary, plotline, and illustrations were spot-on and really paint a vivid picture of what to expect from the book. It's fantastic to hear that the humor and unexpected events kept you engaged throughout the story. Your recommendation for read-aloud sessions and inclusion in book fairs is a great idea, considering its entertaining nature. Thanks for sharing such an insightful review!

This children's book is full of humor and suspense. The mystery of elephants wandering around the house sounds intriguing. The personalities of the characters are well differentiated. Additionally, the book has a narrative that includes precise vocabulary and appropriate word choices.

Lovely book for kids, but unfortunately my own are way too grown up for this type of literature and there is no way for me to coerce them in reading or listening to it. I am quite nostalgic about reading them to sleep, and I would have loved to read this book to them, but as it is, I will have to skip it. Congrats with BOTD, anyway!

As a child, I loved mysteries and books with talking animals. It was fun to read the beginning of the story in the book sample, and Kramer and Sammy seem to be likable characters. I'm sure children will love to join in on a search for elephants in the house. Thank you, PeterRabitt20, for a positive and encouraging book review! Well done!

I love books that evoke different emotions and allow one's mind to run wild. The mystery and humor make it sound quite fascinating.

I also like the fact that it's a series. This allows readers to create a bond with the characters and spurs them to dive into it.

I love how you pointed out the vocabulary aspect and the recommendation for a read-aloud session. It speaks to the quality of the book.

A dog and a weasel embark on a detective adventure to find out where truly there's an elephant roaming the house. Though mostly written for children, this book can entertain anyone, as the humor in it is so fun!

Wow! What a great review! And what an even greater book! I wonder if Sammy and Kraver really find elephants in the house. Unfortunately, I don't read children's books, so I'll skip this one.

I loved your explanative review of "The Elephant(s) in the Room" by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers children's story. It sounds like a wonderful, playful and funny story for parents' reading to children or for a child to read by themself. The illustrations are fantastic as well. Congratulations to the authors for BOTD.

'Official Review: The Elephant(s) in the Room by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers has a fascinating introduction. I love the advice offered to potential readers in the review. The point that Kramer, the dog, and Sammy, the Weasel, embark on a detective adventure to solve the mystery of elephants roaming inside the house is worth mentioning in the review. The readers would note that the story has humor, mystery, and attitude. Also, as mentioned in the review, the book would be useful for younger readers wanting to raise their vocabulary. It was great to learn that the plotline is filled with unexpected and exciting events and a diversity of animals!

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to know there really are elephants in the room as Kramer the Dog tries to convince his friend, Sammy the Weasel and be with two characters as the solve the mystery. I love reading books because of the values they impart to the young readers and because they remind those values that seemed to be forgotten by adults.

To me it doesn't seem like it is easy to write a review on a children's book so reading this review, I really commend the reviewer. Children's books are fun but generally not for me. the review is great though. Thank you.

"The Elephant(s) in the Room" by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers is the third book in a series of children's books, but it can easily be read as a standalone. The main characters are Kramer the Dog and Sammy the Weasel who try to solve the mystery.
