San Diego, California Author Leela Hope studied English Literature at Berkeley, earning a degree in 1989. Her writing covers a span of several genres, but she always returns to her first love, children's fiction. And it is there that her star shines brightest. Always finding something unique on which to base her stories, she makes each tale a learning experience for children as well as offering some pointers for parenting!Once again we are spending time with Ernie the elephant who is small but has a big heart. On the other hand Ernie’s friend Martin Mouse was much smaller but had so much confidence that he seemed like a giant. Martin loved visiting Ernie’s house but was always borrowing toys, a trait Ernie didn’t begrudge – except that Martin never shared back. Ernie finally asked Martin to borrow an action figure toy, but Martin refused, making Ernie sad and he ran away. Martin felt terrible he had made his friend sad and in sharing with his mother, Martin’s mother told him he was selfish when he played. Martin goes through his toys, takes his favorite action figure toy to Ernie’s house – and the act of sharing restored their close friendship.Delightful illustrations and a very solid learning experience shows that Leela remains on top of the heap of books of this genre.

One of the greatest teaching problems that parents have is how to teach their kids to share. This book will help. It shows the impact that the failure to share has on friends and what happens when the selfish child learns to share.Ernie the elephant is small but his friend Martin the mouse is even smaller. The two love to play together. Martin borrows many toys from Ernie but never lends him anything. One day Ernie asks to borrow a toy action figure for a week but Martin refuses. Ernie cries and walks away. Martin asks his mother what he did wrong, she tells him, and he learns.
I enjoyed this and I find it a very creative and inspiring fun ebook for young early and beginner readers is who I would especially recommend it for. And feel because of such a great message here it needs five stars. I received this for free and have given it now an honest review. Sharing is caring! Great work Leela! By Angela
Great book, I love rhyming stories for kids. I really think it makes kids enjoy reading more.Add in a great story about learning to share and some fun pictures and you getone terrific book!
My little cousin loves the beautiful colors in this book it has become a part of our bedtime routine. It has so many stories and rhymes that we never run out of things to read to my cousin. It's wonderful because the book is a small size that it isn't heavy yet is big enough that she is able to enjoy all of the artwork.For such a reasonable price, this is a wonderful book and savior for parents like you who don't remember or know any stories and nursery rhymes. Beautiful pictures throughout the book to just show the baby for learning and keeps them engaged very well.I recommend this to all parents out there.
Ernie is a small elephant who doesn't let negative comments about his size bother him any more. He has confidence and likes himself the way he is, especially since he has met Martin Mouse! They play together but sometimes Martin borrows too many of Ernie's toys. Ernie is willing to share with friends, but sometimes his toy box winds up empty. When it comes time for Ernie to borrow a toy from Martin, he becomes possessive ... not willing to share with Ernie. This is probably one of the most important lessons for even the youngest children to learn. I enjoyed this story and the beautiful, cute illustrations. Excellent rhyming narration, loved it. Check out the other books authored by Leela Hope, they all have wonderful ways to help children be better friends.
My niece absolutely loved this book. As a bed time routine, we always read to her before going to sleep. I read this book to her the other night and she Loved it. The book is perfect for kids and it comes with pictures too. The story was adorable and kids can also learn moral lesson in the story.
