Elephant Island
Leo Timmers, Leo Timmers
Caught in a storm, Arnold the elephant washes up on a tiny island. Along comes Mouse in a little dingy and Arnold steps aboard . . . uh-oh! They use the wreckage to make the island bigger. And here's Dog-can this boat take Arnold's weight? Uh-oh! None of the animals can save the shipwrecked elephant but each broken vessel provides new materials for another intricate construction. Wheels and pulleys create a Ferris wheel, an elevator, a waffle maker. Soon there is a whole community and enough space for everyone! As with all Leo Timmers picture books, Elephant Island has many layers of discovery. Each new building is a magical fun park packed with mechanical detail and busy animals all working together.

This book is funny! My favourite part was when he crashed into the boats. My favourite character was the elephant and I liked the boat hotels they made, it was so good. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I’d love to recommend this book to others.

I didn’t like this book because it wasn’t very nice as the elephant was stuck.

I didn’t really like this book because I don’t feel like it taught me anything. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

This book had some really tricky words but I liked it! This helped me learn that you can make something new with people if you care about them and no one needs to be alone!

I like the illustrations in the book. Arnold was amazing for expanding the island to accommodate so many animals. I like the snake best because it looked like a sea monster. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes sea.
