ellalouise99 's review for:
The Slightly Annoying Elephant
by Tony Ross, David Walliams
Sam goes to the zoo and adopts an elephant, completely unaware that the elephant is going to turn up on his doorstep and expect to be looked after. Sam invites the elephant in but he causes lots of problems like breaking Sam's bike and eating all the food. I think FS and KS1 children would find the book funny however there isn't much of a message. I think if Sam and the elephant had become friends and the elephant had realised how to be a good friend, the book would have been much better. Children could discuss in partners, in role of Sam and the elephant, how they could have behaved if they were being good friends. The children could also write a letter from the elephant to Sam, apologising for the trouble he caused, telling Sam how he would be a better friend in the future.
