Folkmanis Elephant Puppets with "Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm going to Sneeze!" Children's Books

"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm going to Sneeze!"

Some of you parents may remember this story from your childhood. Now in print for your kids too!

"All the animals are in a panic. The elephant's sneeze would blow the monkeys out of the trees, the feathers off the birds, the stripes off the zebra. Even the fish and the fly, the crocodile and the kangaroo, know what a catastrophe that sneeze would be. "Please don't sneeze!" they beg..."

"The classic story of an enormous sneeze in the making, told in sprightly nonsense verse, has been newly illustrated in full color to delight a new generation of fans."

Illustrated by Wallace Tripp. (Hardcover, 8.5 x 10.75 inches, Ages Preschool to Grade 3. 29 pages)
