Riassunto:

Santosh the little elephant has a problem. A BIG, HUMONGOUS problem. His family has to move. Not just to another neighborhood, but across the ocean to another continent.

YES, ACROSS THE OCEAN!

That though isn’t the biggest problem he has. There is a SUPER-HUGE, GINORMOUS problem on top of that. His dog, Cooper, isn’t able to go with the family to their new home.

What is Santosh to do? How can he convince his parents to let Cooper go with them?

Santosh has an idea! He has a great idea! But, will it work? And, if it doesn't, then what? Will he accept his fate?

Recensione:

"What a fantastic book! Gilbert-Ian has captured us with this new and imaginative tale. This fun and educational story is a great addition to the children's world of literature. The lessons shared have the important components needed to build character in every child. Children will be captivated by Gulistan Yildiz's large, brilliant and bold illustrations. Santosh the Little Elephant is very well written, dealing with the emotional hardships of having to move and leave all of your friends behind. Gilbert-Ian Rueda's depiction of a child who is barely able to cope with the move, is so accurate. My heart broke for Santosh, but having people around him who love him and truly care about how he is feeling makes such a difference. This book would be helpful in letting a child see the emotional hardship that their parents also face when moving to a new city or new country for work. Avoidance of any discussion about it doesn't make it go away; talking the important things through is the only way to make vital decisions, such as how to make adjustments so that all family members the decisions affect are happy. I enjoyed both the emotional and educational aspects of Santosh's story and recommend it to all young readers who are faced with having to leave their friends behind in a move, as it encourages them to talk about what is troubling them and will help them deal with their feelings head-on. This book would be ideally stocked in medical practices, day-care centres, kindergartens, and in school and home libraries." -Rosie Malezer (Author)
