It is an excellent portrayal of one little guy who beats all odds from the first few traumatic days of his life.

I've recommended "Little Big Ears" to various elementary school teachers when asked what would be a good book about elephants to read and show pictures to their students. All have reported back that this book was thorougly enjoyed by their students. On. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. wonderful
