The children's book Faithful Elephant by Yukio Tsuchiya, about three elephant in a time of war where their trainers have to put the to death. The trainers are worried about the zoo being bombed and the animals running loose in the street cause hazard. The elephants John, Tonky and Wanly were all elephants loved very much at the zoo, however the trainers felt that they be put to sleep. The trainers had no choice but to stop feeding them and many years later they are still remember by monument. However this book does not met the criteria.
Assessing Faithful Elephants that even though it may have many good points to the story and it morals, which does matter. The story does hold a good moral to the story saying that if we didn't have wars animals nor people would be getting killed because of bombing, a symbol used in the book to represent pain and anguish. However the book does not give the children an explanation as towards what is going on in this book. It may leave my ambiguous questions in the child's minds.
The book also has pretty good illustration, however the children may not be appealed to the book because of the dull colors in the illustrations and how boring it may look. At times the drawing become a bit confusing and hard to let what some objects in the book maybe therefore leave a bad interpretation of the drawings. Also the colors seem too dark and not quite cheerful enough for the children to enjoy the book. Therefore the less likelihood of them picking up the book and reading it.
The book also has no bibliography, footnotes, or index included even though it was a historical event that happen. Children are not going to know what happen in World War II therefore they need an explanation of what is going on in the book. The children need to know if this story really did occur or if the author is just making it up. They also have the right to know why they where being bombed and who bombed.
