The best Children's Elephant Books: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I really don’t want to dampen your spirits, but I documented things leading up to our first round of IVF and then found it difficult when it didn’t work to hold on to any of those mementos.

Obviously I really hope that it works for you, but I would think ahead so you have a plan of what to do if this round doesn’t pan out as expected.

Our IVF journey was a long one and everyone knows that’s how we conceived so when Philip is old enough to ask we’ll be upfront with him. I also bought him a book before he was born called Wish. It doesn’t deal specifically with IVF, but tells the story of a very longed for child. It makes me cry every time I read it!

Edit: also it might just be my sense of humour, but I can’t wait to tell him he was conceived round the back of a BMW garage when mummy and daddy weren’t even there!

I would buy you this book if I had your address. We didn’t go through nearly as much pain but it was a bumpy road to get to our first. Buy it for your wife. Have tissues ready

Wish (Wish Series, 1) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/148470875X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2CNR6VYW40KCP6F492PY

Here it is on amazon - the write up is pretty spot on. I've given it as a gift at a couple baby showers for couples I know that have dealt with infertility and its been universally adored.

Here is the book Wish: https://www.amazon.com/Wish-Matthew-Cordell/dp/148470875X

It's now my standard baby shower purchase for couples who I know have struggled to have a baby. It talks about how a couple wishes for a child and makes plans, but the baby never comes. Then after lots of waiting the baby arrives and how they are so happy. It's really lovely.

It's a sweet board book about how a couple wants to start a family but things don't go as planned and they wait and they wait. And eventually they do have a baby. It's not specific about how they get a baby, so it would apply to adoption, infertility, etc. I cried every time I read it. Amazon link to book

This is the last one about elephants that i know about that's not teaching kids about death and grieving im sorry if i wasn't much help and hope you find exactly what you're looking for. Five Minutes' Peace https://www.amazon.com/dp/0698117875/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H4NWCb94VR80Y

One day past due date is very normal. Date might be wrong ect. They should be monitoring her and it only gets dangerous a week or 2 after the due date. Sorry, I know waiting is not easy...

I don't think it's supposed to be a parody; the authors are French and have a whole line of other books. Most of the pages were totally normal kid's book stuff. Does it look like parody from the description here: http://www.amazon.com/Elephant-A-Book-Opposites/dp/0810936992

Darn. We don't have it. It is available on Amazon and with some great reviews.

I'd stick with classics like "Goodnight Moon." My kids (now 8, 8 and 5) can recite that book word for word because we've read it so much...and gone through 5 copies of it.

Susan Boynton has some awesome books for little ones. The kids and I always loved them. You can see some of her books here.

What about But No Elephants -- depressssssing. Little old lady tries to help animals but makes an elephant stand outside half the winter because she has no room, invites him in, and he eats all her food and falls through the floor.
