A Parade of Elephants Book Review

They Will March Right Into Your Heart #Sponsored

By Amanda Hollifield, Publisher Mom, tricities.macaronikid.com October 22, 2018

Multiple award-winning children's author and illustrator, Kevin Henkes has released his latest masterpiece "A Parade of Elephantsand the kiddos in my family are already in love with those five adorable marching elephants!

Yes, simple in nature with its elementary language, repetition, and rhythm; yet, the elephants' mission of marching intrigues kids of all ages (yes, including this mama!). Where are they going? Why are they marching?  My kiddos' little eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful pastel colors of not only the elephants but all the shimmering colors that bounce off each page, softly leading little ones to a blissful sleep.





Beginner readers will be hooked on the easy, repetitive text which helps early readers gain confidence in seeing words multiple times within pages. Henkes also masterfully incorporates number counting, color patterns, and curiosity of the young mind.

The ending is a beautiful tie-in to any bedtime classic with the goal of getting your young ones peaceful and sleepy for the night.

No young readers in the house?  "A Parade of Elephants" is the perfect gift for your next baby shower invite. Any new mom would LOVE to add this fun, lighthearted read to their baby's bookshelf and nighttime routine.
