BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Ruby, a young elephant from the The One and Only Ivan is worried as her Tusk Day approaches. Tusk Day is a celebration of when an elephant starts to grow trunks. It is a rite of passage to adulthood. Part of Tusk Day is thinking about good and bad memories in your life. Thinking of these memories makes Ruby appreciate all that she has. Will Ruby get through her Tusk Day?
The Littlest Elephant is a beautiful rendition of the chapter book "The One and Only Ruby". The plot is very sweet with an important theme for children. My favorite quote is "the darkness helps us love the light." The One and Only Ivan series is very popular in my library. With this book, younger students can be introduced to this series earlier. Would make a great read aloud!
