Each page of the Color + Learn book has a summary sentence connecting it to the original storyline of Eddie the Elephant’s Magical Ear, as well as the matching illustration for children to color. Children will love coloring the pictures. Parents will love the simplicity of well-designed questions that cause their children to think, experience, and choose behaviors that are kind.
Eddie the Elephant’s Magical Ear is a tale for children, but it is also a tool to open up discussions between children and teachers, teachers and parents, and all of those who suffer or know someone who experiences the challenges that come with hearing loss. A wonderful aspect of the story is when the itsy bitsy spider teaches Eddie that LOUD, LOUD NOISE can BREAK an ear this way! Sadly, once broken, an ear will likely stay that way! What should Eddie do???? Can he find the help he needs to hear again?
