Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Do you need an elephant?"

Oliver has always dreamed of working in the circus, but what will he do when the circus already has enough elephants?

About the Author

Syd Hoff has given much pleasure to children everywhere as the author and illustrator of numerous children’s books, including the favorite I Can Read books Sammy the Seal, The Horse in Harry’s Room, and the Danny and the Dinosaur books. Born and raised in New York City, he studied at the National Academy of Design. His cartoons were a regular feature in the New Yorker after he sold his first cartoon to that magazine at the age of eighteen. His work also appeared in many other magazines, including Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post, and in a nationally syndicated daily feature.

I got this for a little boy named Oliver. It kept his interest, and he liked the illustrations. I grew up with Syd Hoff books. They are always cute and fun.
