- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5finding something he could do that WASN'T jumping was almost as good, when elephant saved the day.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Individuality is very important and should be embraced by everyone. Unfortunately, people believe everyone is capable of doing one single task. This often leaves people embarrassed, ashamed, or the feeling of incapability. The main character, the elephant, cannot jump he is ashamed and feels embarrassed. He soon realizes that he has other talents that can be beneficial to his friends. The elephant can help those in need with his trunk. Now he knows that it is okay to be different and he can succeed at tasks others may not be able to and vice versa.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Maybe not jump but he can save the day.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In Willis’ delightful story, baby elephant is told that elephants can’t jump. “It’s just they way we’re made, said his mother. Something to do with our knees, said his father.” But elephant is determined to prove his family wrong. Elephant comes up with several schemes to show that he can jump, such as running fast, using a trampoline and climbing to the top of a hill. No matter what elephant tries, he fails and the other animals are there to laugh and remind him that ‘elephants can’t jump’. But when elephant and his friends find a little boy in need of help, elephant finds that he can do something that none of the other animals can do. Reynolds cartoon illustrations are playful, brightly colored and nicely compliment Willis’ adorable story. Recommended for pre-K to 2nd grade.
