Researched Educator Offers Unique Learning Approach to Spark Creativity and Curiosity

MINNEAPOLIS - July 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Mighty Media Press announces the release of If an Elephant Went to School by Ellen Fischer and illustrated by Laura Wood, a unique picture book that combines teaching wildlife habbits and classroom expectations. This new title follows in the spirit of its companion title, If an Armadillo Went to a Restaurant, which is now available on the Reading Rainbow App with complete narration and animation.

Would an elephant learn the ABCs if she went to school? No way! She would learn to use her trunk as a nose, a straw, a hand, or a hose! Through a series of questions and answers, readers learn about animals and their unique behaviors. And in the end, you might find yourself asking just what you would learn.

Elephant introduces readers to different animals, comparing what animals learn in the wild to what students learn in the classroom. Once again teaming up with the talented Laura Wood and using her extensive background in education, author Ellen Fischer has created another story that reviewers are raving about. Educator and blogger John Barger of NC Teavher Stuff suggests teachers use Elephant for lessons in their classrooms: "Instead of reading a dry text to your PreK-1st grade class, you can have a fun, interactive read-aloud experience with adorable illustrations."

This is the perfect back-to-school read for this fall. Ellen Fischer's book launch will take place at Scuppernong Books (Greensboro, NC) on August 15th at 11:30AM. She is available on Skype in the Classroom, where libraries, classrooms, and other programs are encouraged to sign up for her lessons at: https://education.skype.com/projects/11823-mighty-media-press-talk-to-this-former-teacher-about-how-to-write-a-book-and-make-children-laugh.
