lauriesmith224 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Finally got my hands on my very favorite book from when I was a kid - Ah-Choo by Mercer Mayer.This book features some great drawings of some VERY big sneezes from a VERY allergic elephant....I scanned a few of the best pages!http://www.flickr.com/photos/15902078@N00/...57623074591580/ Link to comment
starpollen Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Wow that's a great book! And here I thought "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" was the best kids book I'd ever seen... Link to comment
MyOwnPrivateSFC Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 HEE! Lookie what I found, trying (and failing) to find a full online copy of the book: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_go25...ag=content;col1(For the record: yes, it actually does mention us at one point, but--fortunately!--with an incorrect web address.)~Me Link to comment
Heven Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I remember checking that out from the library as a teenager and feeling like *such* a weirdo! P.S. - Any chance you have pictures of the last page or two? I seem to recall the elephant having a lady friend. Link to comment

I've been looking for this for a while. Thank you!!Any chance you could scan the whole thing? It's not very common to see it around anymore. Since the only word ever used in the book is "Ah-Choo," literally every page is part of a buildup to a sneeze. Link to comment

a red nine Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 How adorable! I wish I'd had this book in my childhood. It would have been my VERY FAVORITE too. Link to comment
Hawkeye Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You know, now I'm remembering a book about an elephant who always sneezed, but it was a different one! It was this little baby elephant who sneezed so much that he thought his name was Blessu...it was super cute. I'll have to see if I can remember what that one's called... Link to comment

It's called "Blessu" and it's by Dick King-Smith (the guy who wrote the book the movie "Babe" is based on.) Now, of course, I just have to find it! :-D Link to comment
