It's playtime for Ed and Kip!

"this fine title will give much pleasure—and satisfaction—to emergent readers."—School Library Journal
 
"Though the text is simple, the panel illustrations tell a more complex story, allowing new readers to enjoy the book on multiple levels. The soft, pastel-colored illustrations in watercolor, gouache, and ink imbue the eponymous elephants with personality. This is an easy reader with substance."—The Horn Book
