Almost as delightful as But No Elephants, at least when read as a companion to it. Pretty simple, objectively, but Smath's talents successfully charm my inner child. Who wouldn't want to live with a Grandma who bakes apple pie, with a bunch of animals, and go to school with an elephant?

Elephant Goes to School will always be my favorite children's book. That will never change. It was the first book I ever remember really reading, and my mom loves to tell the story of how I always said to her, "Read this." One day, she handed Elephant Goes to School back to me and said, "You read this." So I did. Elephant Goes to School began my lifelong journey of being a reader. It was the first book I really loved and understand, and it will always have a spot in my heart for that. I can't wait to have nieces and nephews to read this lovely story to. Highly recommended!

My brother as a young boy absolutely loved But No Elephants by Jerry Smath and I loved reading it to him. You have no idea how happy I was 25 years later to see this book at a resale shop! It is not quite as good as But No Elephants but my two year old absolutely loves this book.

This is one of two books I used to read as a kid. But every time I talked about it to someone, no one ever knew what I was talking about.

Even after all this time, it's still a 10/10. Gonna share it with everyone I know.

A continuation of "But No Elephants". This time elephant goes to school, is a model student, and saves the day when the bus gets stuck in the rain. Much happier than the first book.

This is a good book to read for someone who is ready to start school. It shows all the fun stuff that children do at school! Everyone can help everyone have a good day at school! Learning is fun!
