Both funny and sweet, this intergenerational story trumpets one boy’s boundless imagination — and shows how truly infectious it can be.What to do when Grandpa and Grandma are too busy to play? Ask your imaginary elephant, of course! He’s tons of fun, even if he squashes the flower bed, breaks a few things around the house, and gets a little too splashy in the bathtub. But Grandpa and Grandma will understand — really. With his trademark vibrant, energetic illustrations, Petr Horácek introduces us to a delightfully enterprising child, some wisely laid-back grandparents, and the most endearing elephant you’ll ever want to meet.
EDITORIAL :
From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1—A child's grandparents are too busy to play with him, so he creates a friend that only he can see: a large, fun-loving, pencil-gray elephant. When the smiling grandfather asks who "messed up" his flowers, the child blames his new friend. The same goes for the missing muffins, the mess in the hall, and the puddles in the bathroom. Though the child apologizes, he seems to feel sorrier about blaming his imaginary elephant than upsetting Grandma and Grandpa. However, all is forgiven and the next morning Grandpa suggests playing ball. The illustrations appear to have been created with pencil, pen/ink, and watercolor and then cut and pasted onto clean white backgrounds. This is a slight story about a boy and his imaginary friend, and the bright mixed-media pictures are the best part.—Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WICopy

The spell that went awry and all the men in a line as hilarious you just knew something unexpected would come of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and fully intend to re-read many times. If you can get past any of that then I truly is a good story, the hero's clearly not going to learn anything about the value of being honest with people. He liked wearing women's clothes, but it must be clearly understood that enjoying cross-dressing is different from feeling that one is in a body of the wrong sex. First let me say that the Angry
