Product Description:
Get ready for figure skating, diving, slalom racing, and more--elephant style! X. J. Kennedy's cast of spirited pachyderms compete for gold medals in the Elympics. This collection of fast-paced poetry will have you laughing and cheering as each new character strives in a different event. Some are as graceful as a bird. Other are as clumsy as a toad. Some crash land, but win by a nose. You never know what will happen when good-natured elephants throw their weight around and go for the gold medal.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Excellent for this upcoming Summer Olympics
Elympics is a wonderful book that any child would enjoy. I am a first grade teacher and this book has been very useful in explaining to my students about the 2000 Olympics. The Elephant goes through all the different events that will take place this year by using poetry to express himself. This book is fun as well as educational.
