It seems a perfect book for a read-aloud session. I'm sure children would be enthusiastic about it.

I am laughing out loud with the way you imagined the aroma of roasted peanuts. The book will certainly be an enjoyable one to read. Thank you for the review.

This delightful book sounds like Watson and Holmes for kids. Reminds me of The Great Mouse Detective (Basil of Baker Street) that I enjoyed as a kid. I love animal antics in children’s stories and this one definitely looks like a winner! Thanks for the helpful review!

I think this book will help a lot when I teach my TEFL classes, especially as it can help with their vocabulary. So I'm definitely investing in this, not only for my students but because I want to find out what Sammy and Kramer finds in the house🤭. Thanks for a great review.

I liked Kramer from just reading your review on how although he was observant he still follows his friend. It shows children that you can always learn from others. Great review!

I liked reading the sample of the book. The illustrations were very well done. It was easy to forget that the main characters were animals and not people. It takes skill to make the animals come to life. The book works for kids and adults.

“The Elephant(s) in the Room” by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers is a children’s book that is the third book in the Sammy the Weasel series. Kramer the dog begins the story by trying to convince Sammy the Weasel that there are elephants inside their house. The two of them begin an adventure to find out if there really are elephants in the house. Their adventure includes humor and mystery and one must read the book to learn the outcome. This is a well-written book that all readers should enjoy. I can see myself reading this book to my great grandchildren. Very good review.

The portrayal of funny characters and their witty talk would engage children to turn the pages of this fabulous children's story.

The plotline is filled with unexpected and exciting events and the diversification of animals is great. I love the color palette used. There is character and personality development which is expertly done. Thank you for the amazing review.

Nice and exciting reviews!!
This review indeed makes me to read fully about the book. Definitely a good read for the children. Defective stories will be definitely awesome to search the mystery and find the truth. Makes our brain work a little.
Thanks for the review.
Congratulations!

I haven't seen a lot of children's literature about weasels. This book appears to be a fun way for kids to learn more about these animals.
