Review of The Elephant(s) in the Room
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Elephant(s) in the Room" by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers.]
When Kramer the Dog came running to inform Sammy the Weasel that there was an elephant in the house, he could not believe it. Quick as a whip, Sammy dons his favorite detective glass. As an expert investigator, he eagerly sets off with Kramer to investigate, certain they will prove the elephant claim hogwash. Sammy harbors no doubt in his superb sniffing abilities; his self-assurance in solving any mystery knows no bounds!
Yet when the intrepid pair begin poking around the house, they uncover clue after bewildering clue, which Sammy may be oblivious to. Could Kramer be right? Does an enormous elephant (or elephants) truly lurk within the house? The Elephant(s) in the Room: Another Sammy the Weasel Story by Denny Laake and Monica Laake Beavers is very funny and interesting!
Sammy the Weasel delights young readers as the starring character of his whimsical adventure series for children. Though a bit full of himself, Sammy means well and always faces mysteries with fearless (if overzealous) gusto! His confidence arguably exceeds his competence, yet I found his eagerness to take on any case supremely entertaining. Each exploit Sammy undertakes looking for the elephants in his little home will leave kids cracking up at his hilarious hijinks!
The stunning and intricate illustrations are one of the highlights of this delightful animal-themed storybook. Each image meticulously depicts the animals and scenes described in the engaging narrative. Young readers will be captivated by the colorful drawings that wonderfully capture the essence of each creature and location. These picturesque visuals vividly bring to life the rooms Sammy and Kramer explore and the mysteries they work together to solve. I disliked nothing about the book, and I am glad to rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The book was also well edited.
I highly recommend this imaginative detective tale to children who enjoy tales featuring animals on exciting adventures. The gorgeous artwork draws you into the intrigue, complementing the playful language. The illustrations aid young readers in visualizing the animals’ world and connect them intimately to the events described. Children may feel inspired to observe the world around them more closely as they follow along with the animal detectives, using their unique skills to investigate curious occurrences. Through this book, young readers may realize the value of teamwork and their own abilities to solve problems. Through creative expression and inventive storytelling, this beautifully illustrated book can spark children’s interest in nature, reading, and community collaboration.
