The pages are thick and colorful, and the illustrations are the type of masterful art that make it a joy to read a counting book over and over again. (Counting books are boring for adults!) My standard for a great children’s book is that I can read it over and over with joy while my kids love it. This meets the mark! Great for 2-5 year olds building number sense, this book has kids counting and pointing and noticing changes along the way. And did I mention it’s just lovely? Would be a great pastel, springtime gift. Review: Big hit with granddaughter - Elephants are a favorite with my granddaughter. She loves reading and learning about them. It’s very sturdy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,110 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #55 in Children's Math Fiction #84 in Children's Elephant Books (Books) #110 in Children's Zoo Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 342 Reviews | ## Images ![A Parade of Elephants: Five big, bright elephants march from dawn to dusk in this rhythmic board book by Caldecott winner Kevin Henkes. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RTFN-4eEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for learning to count *by F***E on February 9, 2019* What a beautiful book.

It’s very sturdy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wondrful book... *by G***L on September 27, 2018* I'm not a children's book reviewer but I do think that those books are judged differently than books written for adults. For instance, books aimed at young children are generally mostly pictorial with a bit of text. Little plot or few characters to analyse as I would do if reviewing an adult book. However, I do want to review Kevin Henkes's new book, "A Parade of Elephants", as it is one of the cutest books I've ever seen. I've bought many books for my four grandchildren, who are all under the age of six. Most are good and the kids enjoy them, but "A Parade of Elephants", which I bought for my almost 3 year old granddaughter, is in a category of its own. The text is simple - a day, more or less, in the lives of five elephants - and the drawings of the four adults and one baby as they walk around, up and down, over and under. Kevin Henkes's drawings are heart-warming; I just wanted to reach out and hug them. My grandgal, who loves toy elephants, enjoyed the book and I hope it becomes one of her favorite book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/151316727-a-parade-of-elephants-five-big-bright-elephants-march-from](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/151316727-a-parade-of-elephants-five-big-bright-elephants-march-from) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
