Wonderlit Review
When the Elephant Walks is a delightful picture book that uses a simple, circular narrative to explore themes of fear and unexpected power. The story begins with an elephant scaring a bear, who then scares a crocodile, and so on, down a chain of animals until the smallest creature, a mouse, is introduced. The charming twist at the end reveals who the mouse manages to scare, offering a humorous and satisfying conclusion. The rhythmic text makes it an excellent read-aloud, perfect for engaging young listeners, and the "hilarious illustrations" are integral to the book's appeal. This book is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering pure entertainment while subtly opening conversations about how perceptions of size and strength can be deceiving. It's a quick, comforting read that celebrates the idea that even the tiniest among us can have a significant impact.
