“When the elephant walks”

By Lucía del Valle

“When the elephant walks” is an adorable story written by Keiko Kaszca who using tender images and the same structure to pass from one animal to another, makes the story attractive and easy to follow for children.

The story is about an animal chain-reaction which starts with an elephant scaring a bear. Then, the bear, which is looking for honey, scares a crocodile which swims for saving his life but, by doing this, he frightens another animal who continue with the chain. From the elephant to a mouse, fear passes through all these tender characters, finishing the story with the first one, the elephant, being scare.

Within this book, children become aware that life is like a “wheel” and everything we do, good or bad, could return to us.

I highly recommend this book. “When the elephant walks” is a very kind story with lovely characters that very young children will adore.
