An Elephant Taking a Mud Bath

Once upon a time a little elephant loved to take a mud bath the most. She did it every day but she couldn't stop doing it. And then her mom said to come out but she didn't want to. But she came out and then she realized that she didn't like taking mud baths because it was cold outside, but she still had to take mud baths to keep her skin safe and to keep the bugs out. Then they went inside and ate lunch and they lived happily ever after.

We've been reading lots of elephant books. We read:
Elmer and Rose - D. McKee
Tree Ring Circus - A. Rex
Emma Kate - P. Polacco
Encore for Eleanor - B. Peet
Ella the Elegant Elephant - d' amico
Elephants - non-fiction
Forget Me Not - M. Broad
Tweak Tweak - E. Bunting

This is just like Encore for Eleanor!
My favorite elephant books were Encore for Eleanor, because I liked when Eleanor draws the pictures, and Tweak Tweak, because I liked when the baby elephant asked all the questions and I liked when the mom said, "No, no."

My mom's favorite elephant books were Emma Kate and Tree Ring Circus.

( She is referring to the Tylenol. She holds it up enthusiastically, and no doubt, with gratitude at its existence. ) (Mama notes: Yes, sadly this is how our morning began. It has been a very long day. I'm not sure how much you can see from the picture, but the right side of her face is quite swollen. I think she literally fell on her face. Poor baby. )
