The Elephant in the Room

A hilarious picture book that addresses the elephant in the room: how to solve an impossible problem with teamwork before it gets bigger . and bigger . and flattens everyone!
 

There’s an elephant in the room.

It didn’t seem like a big deal at first.

But now . it’s making me uncomfortable!
 

A family of four is facing one problem: a literal elephant inside their home. Ignoring it works at first, but then it gets bigger . and bigger . and bigger! Can they listen and work together before they’re flattened by the elephant in the room?

A literal interpretation of the famous idiom, The Elephant in the Room is a hilarious example of what happens when you ignore a problem. Perfect for storytime and classroom read-alouds, it introduces idioms, builds problem-solving skills, and is a heartwarming tool for social-emotional growth. And best of all, it’s laugh-out-loud fun for the entire family!

With clever dialogue by Hollie Wolverton and giggle-worthy illustrations by Krisztina Buza, this picture book teaches kids that ignoring problems doesn’t make them go away and that it’s OK to ask for help. Because teamwork can solve even elephant-size problems.
