Good even for very little ones - Rated I loved this book as a child, and bought it when my baby was six months old, assuming that I'd have to wait a while before she started liking it, but she loves it already, especially when I bounce her along to the words "rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta" which appear on almost every page. "And they went rumpeta rumpeta rumpeta all down the road with (various people) all running after" - Rated This book is driving me absolutely insane! I have to read it every night and to continually have to read out the long list of people who end up chasing the elephant is maddening! But ... my three year old son is potty about the book, and that's why I have given it five stars, because that's what matters. The pictures are clear and interesting with lots to talk about and the story is catchy. Personally I think the end is a bit perculiar. I can't understand why all the people who were chasing the elephant all suddenly stop to eat pancakes with the bad baby, but then start chasing the elephant again. And if I can't understand it, I can't see how a child can understand it. The book also aims to teach the word "please" but as yet my son totally refuses to utter that word. Perhaps I have to put myself through the torture of reading this book for a while longer yet before he will do so. So, to sum up, its a fun, well illustrated, catchy book which my son loves, but that I can't quite get my head around! My two year old's favourite book! - Rated I bought this book after reading the wonderful reviews and it is now my son's favourite bedtime story. The repetition is fantastic and allows him to join in - he plays the bad baby and then points at each shop-keeper running behind as I read through the list. My seven year old daughter also loves it, although it is wearing a little thin after her brother makes her read it to him several times over the course of a day. Wonderful Story - Rated I used to love this book as a child, and my three children now enjoy the same slightly worn copy. The repetition is fun- try doing the list in one breath, and the rumpeta rumpeta is now the only way to go down the stairs in our house! Brilliant! - Rated My daughter never tires of this book (which she calls 'Rumpeta rumpeta'). Brilliant, timeless with great illustrations.
