Tina Wuehr Pipsqueak Publishing Rating: - Read it to me again!A chorus of "Again!" emanating from three grandchildren affirmed the goodness of Jana Laiz's "Elelphants of the Tsunami". With the second reading we searched a world map to locate this event. Embedded in the text of this true story are three words that needed explaining - a great way to increase a child's vocabulary.

Rating: - An important story to shareThe story is gracefully and respectively presented in this wonderfully illustrated book. It's importance goes beyond depicting and reminding us of a tragedy - but also for illuminating us on the wonders of the fabulous creatures with which we share this planet. That elephants have this superb sense of recognizing and realizing wonders of nature that we as humans can not even perceive - gives us much to consider socially, scientifically, and ecologically. Thank you for writing this story in a most ... Read More
