| Elephants can be great friends! My Rating: 4 of 5 stars Age: 2-5+ years Available in English only A former award-winning writer and illustrator for American Sesame Street, is the author of many books that have captured the hearts — and, just as importantly, the humor — of American children | Together, Elephant and Mouse navigate big city life, learn the value of friendship, and share one scrumptious cupcake |

| The pictures are painted in a mid-20th century style of Israeli illustration | The story also hits the mark with preschool humor: our lil guy thinks that it is hysterical that the butterfly keeps getting it wrong and leading the poor monkey to animals that are clearly not his mother |
| Unlike the newer stories, the original seven contain themes and events that require explanation from parents and are more appropriate for older children | מיד אחרי הפתיחה החדה — כפולת עמודים בגווני ירוק, בה נראה הקופיף יושב נבוך ומתוסכל בלב היער, בין חיות רבות, ומעליו הכיתוב: "איבדתי את אמא! את הבלוג התחלתי לכתוב מתוך רצון לשתף ולחלוק את חומרי הלמידה, מערכי השיעור ואת רעיונותיי החינוכיים |

| Bilingual Benefit Both books are highly repetitive and, thus, perfect for a toddler | Bilingual benefit: As I believe that nursery rhymes inspire creativity and imagination and foster a love of the English language, I spent a good deal of time researching which nursery rhyme book to purchase for my toddler |
