Dana is a bit
high and mighty about her birthday. She acts mean, takes things, and calls
people names. When she receives a wonderful pet elephant as a birthday gift,
she is elated. But things don’t work out quite the way she expects, and Dana
starts to change in unexpected ways.
This story has a
sly sense of humor and an intriguing way of teaching. I was pleasantly
surprised and thought this was a fantastic book. Students will find this an
interesting read as they see a bully make a real change. The artwork is varied
and is laid out in an interesting and eye-catching way. Quirky to boot!
