The Elephant and the Bad Baby by Elfrida Vipont, Raymond Briggs
3.0
This is an odd little book. The elephant and the bad baby steal a bunch of food. Everyone gets upset with the bad baby for not saying "please" and seem to temporarily forget the elephant's crimes.
The repetition is kind of fun and I liked saying "rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta" but this book didn't keep my daughter's attention. It was listed for ages 0-3 (my daughter is 2) but would probably be better for an older child. Also, the message about stealing is kind of an odd one, and the Bad Baby is shamed into saying please instead of learning it's just the polite thing to say.
