Review of Eddie the Elephant’s Magical Ear
It has been a difficult moment for Eddie the Elephant. He has become deaf following the loss of his ear, but the problem is that he cannot figure out how that happened or locate the missing ear. Amidst the frustrations occasioned by this condition, he encounters a spider, and a series of revelations unfold.
Eddie the Elephant's Magical Ear is a children's story written by Suzanne Picerno, MA, MBA. The author did a great job of exploring in this story the medical condition of hearing loss and its attendant physical and psychological implications. The information shared in this story should help the patients better understand and manage their condition.
While the information in this story will benefit both children and adults, I was impressed that this story was tailored to offer children more knowledge and support on how to manage this medical condition. This is a great initiative; we will better appreciate it when we consider the implications of the report showing that about 32 million children globally suffer from hearing loss.
The word choices made in this story were simple. This should make it easier for children to comprehend the story and its thematic preoccupations. Moreso, I was impressed by the rhythmic word choices. Most of the story was presented in couplets, and the musical effects were truly soothing and entertaining.
I think the mode of encounter and conversation between Eddie and the spider were strategic and fruitful. As they follow the conversation, children will get to learn about the possible causes of hearing loss, medical gadgets to manage the condition, and the relevance of support systems. The story was illustrated by the author and M. Waseem, and they did a great job there. The painting will help children better understand the story and the message passed through it.
This book was thoroughly edited, and there were no grammatical errors in it. Based on the aforementioned positive aspects, I am delighted to rate this book five out of five stars. I didn't dislike anything in it, so there is no reason to rate it lower. I recommend this book to those who are suffering from hearing loss. I believe they will find a couple of things in this story helpful.
