Customer Reviews

Hooray for limiting antibiotics for kids!

I'm so pleased to read this book in support of non-antibiotic treatment of ear aches. Excellent book for kids and adults alike. Let's hope all our pediatricians consider Dr. Cowan's opinion and share it with parents by putting it in all their waiting rooms!

A reassuring tale

What a lovely (and loving) story. It is beautifully illustrated and presents a reassuring tale for those who have ear infections. We enjoyed reading it together.

A Spoonful of Sugar!

Dr. Cowan gets the dosage just right. Parents AND their kids learn how to cope with the ever-present earache, in the most delightful way!

A Children's Health Master Piece!

The Little Elephant with a Big Earache is a wonderfully comforting educational story written about a not so wonderful and very uncomfortable malady which afflicts many millions of children. While ear infections are common, health books written to provide educational comfort to our uncomfortable young children are not. The "Little Elephant" helps to fill this Children's Health Education void by providing educational comfort to children and parents, who together, must deal with the painful consequence of ear infections. In the future, I hope to read more children's health books written by Dr. Cowan. From a public health education perspective, "The Little Elephant" is a quantum leap in the right direction. Thanks!

A beautifully written and illustrated book

This is a comforting story that will appeal to both parents and children. It offers sound advice to caregivers and reassurance to the sick child. Should be on every new parents' book shelf.
