When the Elephant Walks, by Keiko Kasza is a well-written story for children. Plenty of humorous pictures, the tale introduces the feeling of fear through dynamic images and refers to situations that make us feel afraid of. All of us could be scared of something at any time of our lives. Even the enormous elephant in the story is afraid of something.
The story begins with a mighty Elephant who scares a big Bear and this scares a fierce Crocodile. When the reptile decides to swim for his life, he scares the Wild Hog who runs fearful from the predator, frightening at the same time a smaller animal. The story elapses up to the end, with different animals that frighten others. The author of this book tries to leave a message to readers, a kind of moral to reflect upon.
When the Elephant Walks is not only a well worth reading book for children, who love funny stories of animals, but also for adults who want to teach values to their sons. The funny pictures and its enjoyable reading, make the book definitely very readable.
you mention the pictures in the introduction and in the conclusion, but not in the body. i would write something about images in it.
