Eleanor the elephant is self-conscious about her large nose after she is teased by Betty the hippopotamus, but she overcomes her sensitivity when she realizes Betty as the biggest mouth. ( )

Eleanor, a little elephant girl, is made fun of at school for her big nose, and Betty the hippo bets that she has the biggest nose in school. So Eleanor goes home and ties her trunk into a knot in an attempt to make it smaller. Her whole family tries to untie the knot, until she finally sneezes it out. Eleanor is so excited to have her own nose back that she stops caring about what everyone says at school. When she goes to school the next day she admits that she might have the biggest nose, but wonders aloud who has the biggest mouth, the biggest tail, the biggest feet. This shuts all the other animals up, and Eleanor is ready for another day at school.

This book was about who had the biggest nose in the whole school between Eleanor and Hilda. Eleanor tried to tie her nose in a knot to make it smaller. The next day at school Eleanor said lets measure who has the biggest mouth and everybody got quiet. The animals decided not to measure who has the biggest nose and who has the biggest mouth. I would teach the kids not to pick on other kids and it would help everyone get along better.
