Don’t Think About The Purple Elephants

Don’t Think About The Purple Elephants
by Susan Whelan (Author) and Gwynneth Jones (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Sometimes Sophie worries — not during the day when she is busy with family and friends, but at night when everything is calm and quiet. Her family all try to help, but somehow they just make her worries worse.

Until her mother thinks of a new approach … that might just involve an elephant or two! But wait, don’t think about purple elephants, whatever you do!

Snippet:
“How silly,” thought Sophie, but when she lay down, closed her eyes and tried not the think about purple elephants.

Straight away a friendly purple elephant appeared in her mind.
