review 2: This is another cute story by Lane Smith. Two donkeys decide they need to talk about the big elephant in the room. One of them lists all of the things he's done that could have possible hurt the other's feelings. In the end, there is really a large elephant in the room. This is where you could talk about another well-known idiom "stick your foot in your mouth." I think kids would find it funny. less
