This always makes for an engaging story for young children to read or listen along. I also liked the layout of the book. When picking it up I thought it wouldn’t be interesting but grabbed it anyway, but the text is not just straight lines across the page but the text has somewhat of a motion of the sounds of the story. For example on page says, “The reason they’d run was suddenly clear… R O A A R! The elephant trembled in fear.” The “roar” portion on this page was spread out large across the tiger that had come along in the story. I also enjoyed the plot of the book because it is not predictable and ended in a way that is very unique by having the elephant decide that he wants to stay with the buffalo in the end. The main message of this book is friendship and how important long lasting friends can be in someone’s life. This is a book about an elephant who becomes lost in the forest and ends up becoming a buffalo. When he sees elephants again what will he do. This is a great book about fitting in and finding your place even though you may be different. This would be a great book for any elementary children and provides a great story and teaching point. I first discovered this author in Catch that Crocodile! While I admit the artwork isn't my favorite style, and my library patrons don't seem to be very interested in checking them out, when I've pulled the books and read them in storytime the kids love them. Each of these stories has a strong rhyming pattern and include many opportunities to get the kids involved in the story, asking what happens next, trying to answer the questions asked by the text, etc. Elephants Never Forget also has excellent opportunities for practicing elephant toots and buffalo bellows. They each seem to follow a pattern of a misplaced animal - a crocodile in a village ditch, a tiger in a village tree, and an elephant among buffalos. The artwork is blocky and can be difficult to discern the actual pictures, although Elephants Never Forget, which is illustrated by Christine Pieper rather than Pulak Biswas, is more conventional. You may have to actively push these stories at patrons - but once they've tried them, they'll love them! Verdict: I recommend Elephants Never Forget and Catch That Crocodile. Have a crocodile and/or elephant themed storytime and introduce your patrons to something different!
