Media Contact: Kate Bandos, KSB Promotions Early Praise for The Little Elephant with the Big Earache by Charlotte Cowan, M.D., illustrated by Elaine Garvin“This is a great story for both children and parents. It gently reminds parents that drugs aren't the first-line solution for earaches, and teaches kids the same thing. Tying the earache to something that was personally meaningful to Eddie will resonate with kids....This is a story that every parent and child will appreciate....The Parent's Guide in the back is a HUGE bonus!...I hope there are more stories like this....We suggest buying two, because it is the perfect baby shower gift or a present for a new mom. This story will be read LOTS of times, and will be ‘comfort food’ for the child who regularly has earaches.”
“Getting sick—even with a mild illness—can be upsetting and confusing for young children. We love this adorable book by pediatrician Charlotte Cowan, M.D. Kids ages 2-7 will want to listen to the story even when they’re healthy. Bonus: A pull out guide for parents with questions and answers about the illness.”
“This is a delightful story with engaging characters…the illustrations are appealing and fun…Highly recommended for children ages 2 to 7 and their parents, teachers, and doctors.”
“This is a story that entertains and educates while coming across as friendly and helpful — about a common pediatric illness in infants and toddlers: earaches. If you are a parent, I am sure you have lost sleep over this ailment at least once... The Little Elephant with the Big Earache will make getting sick feel a little less upsetting and confusing for children.”
“Written by pediatrician Charlotte Cowan, The Little Elephant with the Big Earache is a children’s picturebook dealing with the subject of ear infections in terms young readers age 2-7 can understand.…An accompanying fold-out card Ear Infections Made Easy: Answers to Common Questions serves as a useful quick-reference guide for parents concerned about what to do when their children have ear infections. Highly recommended.”
“This picture book walks children through a visit to the doctor's office and offers comfort (and a pamphlet) for dealing with earaches!”
“A playful and sensitively illustrated story for young children — and informative for parents at the same time.”
“Thank you for the opportunity to read this book: absolutely beautiful, a joy to look at and to read.”
“Superb story, up-to-date medical information, helpful messages for parents…all pediatricians will want copies in their waiting rooms.”
“Little Elephant is wonderful! It’s so nicely done, in every way: written with wisdom, affection and humor; illustrated beautifully...Bravo!”
“Beautiful storytelling about a common pediatric illness. Educational for parents and children alike.”
“Blends kindness and warmth with excellent medical care…Dr. Hippocrates epitomizes the best of pediatricians.”
