Book Reviews of The World's Greatest Elephant
Book Review: AMAZING!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter first picked this book off the library book mobile. She loves animals, so we sat down to enjoy what we assumed was to be another "nice" simple animal story! Well! We got to the end of this most beautiful story and I was in tears!!!!!!!! My kids were only in preschool when we first found that book from the library book mobile and they LOVED it and stayed with it -- it's not as short or simple as other little animal stories.
Long story short -- we returned our library copy, and I found it on Amazon, ordered it for my kids, and have read it over and over and over. . . and have since given it to their friends as birthday presents, and everyone has loved it! I also found the adult version of this compelling true story of life, love, friendship, overcoming obstacles for myself and given it to the mom of one of the friends we gave this children's version to. . .
When my kids (girl/boy twins) were in preschool, I even brought it in to read to their class. The class and their teacher loved it and copied the title to order it for the class. (When the kids were real young like that, I skipped some of the details reading to the class, for time constraints. but now they are in kindergarten and I hope to be able to bring it into their kindergarten class and read the whole thing!)
