Ellema Sneezes: Winner of Mom's Choice and Purple Dragonfly Awards (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781938647215)

"A new way to sneeze is what we need to find. Do not send her away. That is not very kind."

Ellema the Elephant causes quite a stir when she sneezes, disrupting class and annoying her classmates. Once she learns to control her sneezes, everything calms down. Perhaps things are too calm. Kite Day is nearly ruined when there is no wind ... until Ellema sneezes her biggest sneeze ever!
