5.0 out of 5 stars
A Simpler Time,
By Donna Hogan (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emily's Own Elephant (Hardcover)
"Emily's Own Elephant" by Philippa Pearce is a truly heart-warming children's story, beautifully enhanced by John Lawrence's wonderful illustrations. It tells of life in a simpler time, where children play and dream and anything is possible.Emily is a little girl who lives with her parents on a property in rural England. One day she and her mother visit the zoo in London to see the different animals. Just as they are about to leave the Children's zoo, Emily learns that the zookeeper is in a terrible predicament with Jumbo, the baby elephant. A concerned and caring Emily devises a plan and, with her mother's support, sets out to help Jumbo and the zookeeper, and in the end helps her father too. "Emily's Own Elephant" is a lovely book for children aged 3 to 8 years, and of course their parents! But parents be warned - as soon as the story is finished your child will want you to read it to them over and over. And I'm guessing that with such a lovely story, you will want to read it again too. |
