The cover of this book caught my eye – a darling baby elephant floating along in the current, his trunk reaching skyward like a snorkel. That’s just how little Gunther looked as he unwittingly sailed away on a grand adventure.
This book will be a delight for parents, teachers, and librarians to share at story time. Not only will children love the illustrations of brightly colored sea creatures and expressive elephants, but the story has depth that encourages questions and discussions.
Gunther’s tale shows children that things they do can have big consequences. The story also illustrates how youngsters can use creativity and quick thinking to help others. Gunther the Underwater Elephant is heartwarming and fun – with a surprise ending that made me laugh out loud. Five smiles for Gunther!
P.S. You can order this book from the publisher at several dollars less than the suggested retail price.
Gunther is so adorable, as is the book. :D
ReplyDeleteThe illustration just makes me want to hug the little elephant. A beautiful cover from the talented Ginger. I haven't read the story, but it sounds just right for young readers. Congratulations, Ginger and 4RV for another lovely book.
