Engaging and surprising, when the elephant walks shows children that all of us are afraid of something. This book is brilliantly written and illustrated by Keiko Kasza, who includes so many humorous details in the pictures that children will feel amazed.
The story begins with a series of events in which an elephant scares a bear, who is stealing honey from a beehive when the bear runs away, he scares a crocodile and so on. Fear spreads among other animals until a mouse appears and the question is ‘who would be scared by a little mouse?’. Since the outcome is unexpected for children, it creates a great suspense. This book is wonderful for preschoolers and children who are beginning to read because each page has few words and each picture shows perfectly what is happening.
If you are looking for a book containing a moral then you should get this book. It shows children that there may be someone bigger than you who gets scared. I definitely recommend when the elephant walks.
