What to Do If an Elephant Stands on Your Foot

32 pp. | Dial | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3398-5 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. A young safari explorer is consistently unable to heed advice to not startle an elephant, disturb a tiger, wake a rhinoceros, etc. Despite the exasperated narrator's I-told-you-so tone ("You ninny!" "Honestly, you're hopeless!"), the etiquette guidance keeps coming with each amusing predicament. Pictorial clues in Reynolds's humorous illustrations invite the reader to anticipate the clueless kid's next sticky situation.
