Bill Peet's best book

A fantastically funny book. The drawings are amusing, and the rhyming text is memorable.

The other animals all come up with hilarious excuses, so the elephant ends up going alone. A useful introduction to real life, that. The text is a bit too long and complicated for preschoolers, unless...

It has kept my five children's attention at every sitting. It was so popular with my younger brother that he memorized it years ago and now recites it to his son. Peet's illustrations are the perfect compliment to this humorous story. (You may recognize his style - he was an...

Book is fun to read for both kids and adults

This was one of Bill Peet's first books. I read it as a child and then to my kids. The story is fun, a bit long for one sitting. Rhymes are clever and pictures entertaining.
