The Elephant and the Bad Baby is the classic story from Elfrida Vipont and Raymond Briggs.
The Elephant takes the Bad Baby for a ride and they go 'rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta down the road.' They help themselves to ice creams, pies, buns, crisps, biscuits, lollipops and apples, and the shopkeepers follow them down the road shouting and waving. All ends well as the Bad Baby learns to say 'Please' and his mother makes pancakes for everyone.

Elfrida Vipont worked as a teacher, singer and writer. She wrote over 30 books and won the Carnegie Medal in 1950 for Lark on the Wing. Raymond Briggs has produced wonderful children's books including the classic titles The Snowman, Father Christmas and When the Wind Blows - all made into immensely successful films. Raymond lives in Sussex.

This is the type of book where you can't skip pages when reading to your child - there is no way you can miss any of the characters out! A fantasic imaginative romp where the bad baby is not really bad - just misguided! The pictures are stunning, and your brain will get a workout just reading all the characters names again and again. Great fun.

I LOVE this book! I used to read it to my children when they were little and now I have bought it for my grandson who loves it too, even though he's four. Wish I'd remembered it earlier as It's perfect for younger ones. It's fun trying to remember who comes next and the pictures encourage lots of interaction. Great book!

My two year old granddaughter loved the repetiveness of the story - the rumpety rumpety rumpety downt the road. But I'm not too sure of the connotations of 'the bad baby'!

My toddler has loved this since he was weeny. The illustrations are gorgeous and really you shouldn't think too hard about the moral message. A bit tiring to read over and over but I find it cute and funny. And if an elephant came into my shop with a baby on his back, I'd let them take practically anything they liked, whether they said please or not!
