Tua and the Elephant

Tua and the ElephantTua and the Elephant by Randal Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It took me a while to get into this one, but it is a lovely story with an interesting setting. I think kids who are animal-lovers will be drawn into this book. However, the first few chapters are a bit intimidating with so many Thai words and so many different people Tua encounters at the market. Once the real plot begins, the book becomes much easier to follow. Writing teachers should read this one as it has such colorful and descriptive language throughout. It could make for a great mentor text.
