An Elephant Named Clyde is an original story poem that was penned by the author for his two young children over 50-years ago. The story came straight out of the author’s imagination.

This illustrated story poem is perfect for homeschooling, preschoolers, daycares, kindergartens, children’s doctor’s and dentist’s offices, Grandparents who read to their grandkids, 1st grade classes as an example of children’s poetry, libraries and other locations wherever children gather.
