"Stand back," said the elephant, "I'm going to sneeze!" (1990)
"Stand back," said the elephant, "I'm going to sneeze!" is a 1990 animals book written by Thomas, Patricia and Patty Thomas.
The animals are panicking - if the elephant sneezes he will blow the monkeys out of the trees, the feathers off the birds and the stripes off the zebras. A move intervenes to stop such catastrophe, but the animals learn to their cost that an elephant's laugh can be as dangerous as his sneeze.
