Sweet book about a young elephant whose uncle takes him in when the youth's parents don't return from a boating trip. They have some everyday adventures until the uncle gets word that the parents have returned. One adventure involves a talking lamp, which they think may be a magic, wish-giving lamp, but we all really know that there is no such thing as a magic lamp, and, in fact, it was only a talking spider inside the lamp who was speaking. The colors are a bit too gray and muddy looking. Too bad, because the illustrations have interesting details. The elephants, of course, wear clothes and stand upright.I was concerned that a child might be frightened by the parents' being lost at sea, but other reviewers think that the disappearing parents who return help with separation anxiety. An advantage of talking animal stories is that there is no ethnicity ascribed to the characters, although, given the way language works, if you want to use singular pronouns, there is specified gender.The dedication to Charlotte Zolotow makes perfect sense. She also writes sweet stories of family relationships.
Lovely and fun stories about an uncle and nephew. Also for adults
When the lion’s teeth fell out of his mouth. Hehe.
No no no no no no no no no no
Great, but not for my three-year-old :(
This is a loving story that is about a wonderful relationship between a little elephant and his Uncle. Throughout the story the reader learns that they have not always been close but the end result is touching and the adventures that the two elephants go on are enjoyable to read about. This story is a great read for children/students who are just starting to do develop their reading abilities. For teachers, this book is a great book to read to your students and work on story maps, character charts, or logical sequence of a story. This book is easy for students to relate to for children of all ages!
Reason for Reading: Ds read aloud to me as his reader.A nameless little elephant is left alone as his parents go for a sail and end up lost at sea in a storm. Out of the blue Uncle Elephant arrives, takes him to his house where they have a wonderful series of getting-to-know-you adventures, until everything works out in the end.This book is more like a collection of short stories, like the Frog and Toad books, than a comprehensive story but it is held together by the first and last chapters which deal with the boy's missing parents. Some of the chapters are hilarious and had ds laughing out loud, like when Uncle put all his clothes on, on top of one another, and others were just so-so. The book was a little on the young side for him but he enjoys humorous stories and the reading level is spot on now. He is very confidant with Level 2s in this series now and I'm using the few we have left unread as an "easy" read for him. In conclusion, not our favourite Lobel, the story is a bit strange when you really think about it, but still an okay read. I love Lobel's illustrations and animal stories but prefer his earlier work.
