Lowery, David and Toby Halbrooks Elliot Gets Lost Illustrated by Benjamin
Lowery Disney Press, 2016. $16.99 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
Elliott is a cute
little puppy who likes to go on adventures with his family that loves him. While they are on a camping trip Elliott
chases the Frisbee into the forest and gets turned around. He goes to different forest animals and tries
to get help, but can’t find his family.
When it starts to get dark out, the animals all gather together to help
Elliott find his way back to his people.
Elliott is likable and the story line has a simple format
that young readers can follow. The illustrations
are in muted colors but are attractive. There
isn’t anything that stands out about this story, but it is a sweet feel good
picture book. The front cover says: “As
seen in Pete’s Dragon”, which is confusing because I don’t recognize any of the
characters from the original Pete’s dragon, but maybe it's from the new Pete's Dragon- I wonder if that will draw
readers as well.
EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
