I was rather disappointed with the book, I did not feel like learned much about elephants. Sometimes I found the narration hard to follow, and often seem more like he would be annoying the elephants than helping them.

So this one made me cry 😭

There were a lot of anecdotes that were very interesting, heart-warming, endearing, and heart-breaking!!

However, the narrative did feel clunky at times. Many stories were squeezed in at random points, and it was sometimes hard to follow. I did learn more about elephants though, so that’s good! :)
