Review:

Many kids will wonder why they too can't bring an elephant home to play - Kirkus Reviews

A wonderful read in all- My daughter asks for the "Elephant book" everyday - Indian Moms Connect

This is a cute story for young readers, who would find humor in Maya's family's confusing almost-encounters with the elephant, and would feel a conspiratorial kinship with Maya as she manages to keep the elephant a secret. - Portland Book Review
