Read with my son when he was in first grade.* A good book to work on words for young readers.

*He had to keep a reading log and I just found this when going through storage tubs.

What kind of Emergency Room or Urgent Care can make this story end well? Fact is (at least, a fact in the fictional world where stuffed animals walk and talk), terrifying accidents happen.

However, this appears to be a picture book world. Which means that most likely, all endings are happy. And those walking-talking animals produce their own money, can buy whatever they like, and never have a parent. Come to think of it, no wonder animal books like this are so popular.

Scary-ish but true, Elliot -- the stuffed moose -- catches his leg on a nail. Soon his stuffing threatens to come out. Oh, horrors!

However, Elliot gets by with a little help from his friends.

FIVE STARS for this tale of friendship and ingenuity, a picture book with fantastically-beautifully-cuddly pictures.

[Liz Lowe]

Wonderful book about a stuffed animal who gets hurt and his stuffed animal buddies who come to his rescue.

[Kim]

Such a sweet book with adorable illustrations.

[Cady]

I love the look of all the plush characters. Great illustrations.

[The Brothers]

Another cute story about Elliot and friends from Andrea Beck. This time Elliot's run into a bit of a snag - literally. He's snagged his leg and has a hole. All his friends band together to try to fix it with varying results. Can be a good lesson in understanding the virtues of knowing how to sew!

Cute, cartoony illustrations - per usual!

[Jenna]

As a stuffed animal encounters an emergency, this story portrays how all of his stuffed animal friends come to the rescue to help Elliot, the stuffed moose. A great read for children of younger ages.

Kaki Elliot robek! Ia cemas akan menjadi boneka tanpa isi. Teman-teman silih berganti berusaha "mengobati" Elliot : dengan peniti, penjepit, kain kassa, lem, dll.
Siapakah yang berhasil "mengobati" Elliot?

Elliot the moose has an accident and his friends try to take care of him but Elliot is afraid. Will he be all better soon?

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

A cute book for children. The artwork should especially interest them. The story by itself is also quite good for a young audience.
