My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Would it be possible to convince you that a pastel-hued book about a man who cares for three baby elephants, taking them to the park and cooking them pancakes, isn’t overly precious? Something odd in the gentle illustrations prevents that, instead making this a good book for children nervous about a new caregiver. A chance meeting with an old friend in the park may also make Mr. Elephanter a good book for a child having to say goodbye and move on from a now-beloved caregiver, too.
