This book is amazing and helps children understand that not everyone is normal and the same and being so, the children will accept each other the way they appear mentally without discrimination.

This will be a great book for children. It's great that it's both entertaining and educational on things that cause hearing issues by using Eddie the elephant.

While not being one of the target audiences for this book, it teaches a lot of things about deafness while balancing it to fit into children narratives. The versatility of this book makes it unique and would offer readers a lot to learn.

Sounds like a great book with an extremely decent purpose. To my understanding, the story is capable of helping kids dealing with hearing problems and at the same time educate others to be more compassionate and tolerant. Thanks for gifting it to all and congratulations with BOTD!

Today's BOTD is a children's book that follows Eddie the Elephant and his helpful friend Spider after Eddie loses his hearing. Young readers and their families will not only find comfort in the book's overall message, but also helpful information and support for managing and adjusting to a hearing loss. What a cool book of the day! Thank you so much! :-)

This well written book with illustrations have an admirable message about the effects of hearing loss that is geared toward children. It's a simple straightforward book that will appeal to kids who are dealing with a medical condition. I especially appreciate the conversations between Eddie and the spider because it might be helpful in real life encounters. Congrats on the BOTD!

Children's books are an Important aspect in their upbringing, from your review I now have no doubt about that. Children should also know how to take care of their bodies and this is one of the great ways to do so(by putting it down on paper). This review was awesome. Thank you.

"Eddie the Elephant's Magical Ear" by Suzanne Picerno, MA, MBA, is a book to inform children on the issue of hearing disorders and how to cure them. It talks of a fictional elephant who loses his hearing and seeks help. He ends up with a friend named Spider, who wants to help him further understand his ailment and how to fix it. This book takes the topic of deafness and converts it into a friendly book for children. Nice review.

This seems to be an exciting children's book. Hearing loss can cause a lot of phycological problems for the child. Reading this book can improve your chances of coping with the condition. Thanks for the review.

I never had idea very many children suffer from hearing loss. It is good to know that the book gives more information and even its possible causes. Thanks for the author for such an informative and helpful book. Thanks to the reviewer also for a nice review.

The author's approach of discussing hearing loss with children was truly original. They will thus become a little more understanding of those they encounter who have the same problem. The author's perspective is quite valuable.

Wow! This sounds like an amazing book. When a parent and child can read and learn together the impact is so much greater! I pray this book reaches many children and parents dealing with hearing loss. Thank you for your review.

The book seems so interesting. It is difficult for an adult person to accept such a diagnosis but it it is way more difficult to explain everything to a child, to make him understand that he will no longer hear things around him. So this book is perfect for this purpose and with nice pictures too. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
