Hiccups for Elephant

Reach for this book when the house is getting a little too loud or when your child is struggling to settle down for sleep. It is the perfect tool for those 'silly' moods where a child is tired but cannot stop the giggles or high energy, providing a mirror for how one person's noise can affect the whole group. The story follows Elephant, whose loud hiccups are keeping all his jungle friends awake. As the animals suggest various cures, children see a gentle model of community problem solving and the importance of patience. It is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, offering a rhythmic, predictable structure that helps lower the energy in the room while validating that sometimes, we just cannot help the noise we make.
