This book makes the reader go Ahhhhhhhhhh. An elephant has gotten lost and doesn‘t remember anything, but the young kid Arthur becomes his friend. They play and have fun, and eventually the elephant remembers just enough to contact his family who all come to help the elephant remember things and feel loved. Within the illustrations one of the elephants that was called says Hi Dad, and another calls Grandpa.
Everything about it has taken the young reader into consideration. The a overt message about aging and one‘s inherent strength takes second place to every other aspect. Every page carries exquisite illustrations, outstanding page design & offers a palate of visual cues. The elephant‘s eyes express the ultimate sadness; the perspective of tiny Arthur hugging the elephant‘s trunk shows his vulnerability despite size. Highly recommended picture book.
