Gorgeous illustrations of course and oh my, this little elephant is so cute I want to adopt him and give him a home in my suburban Sydney backyard. However, there are some issues worth addressing: There are several animals threatening to bite bits off the elephant or simply devour him whole, which is a bit too graphic for a little child's imagination in my opinion. Secondly, the message rubbed me the wrong way ever so slightly. In the end (spoiler ahead) the elephant meets other elephants and that makes him feel "accepted". But why did he have to find others LIKE him to feel accepted? Why not own it that he is one of a kind?

I love the Sooki the elephant! And the pictures are so beautiful! And the bird is a jerk!

Don't remember much about this one except I think he grows into his skin?

Sooki is an elephant who likes to dance through the junlge going one-two-three-kick. But when a snarky little parrot makes fun of Sooki, Snooki decides to try and fit into her skin.
