• Sweet Retro Goodness 29 March, 2008
This book is great for any Dumbo fan! I enjoy the illustrations, which were done by Disney artists of the time. The story is very much like the movie. One reviewer states that there is nothing about Dumbo losing the magic feather and believing in himself, however it is in there. Another, reveiwer felt some of the lines were odd. Personally, I adore those lines! The line about the pension makes me laugh out loud. This book might be more wordy than picture books of today, but as an educator and avid reader, I appreciate books that might make a child sit and pay attention for longer periods of time. Our society has become too instant, too immediate, and believe me those ideas are reflected in how little time children want to take on their school work.

• A Courageous Elephant 09 April, 2000
You know this book is going to be good because it's Disney! This book is a great tale of a baby elephant growing up. Dumbo was unliked from the minute he was born because he was born with very large ears. Dumbo's mother was owned by a circus, Dumbo was born to be a circus animal. The day that Dumbo was in his first parade he was made fun of by the audience as he closely followed his mother. When Jumbo, Dumbo's mother, heard this she became furious and rambled into an outrage. The circus workers had to lock Jumbo up by demand of the ringmaster. The story is about an elephant finding a friend, his courage, and working toward his goal. This story will touch your heart in the deepest way possible. I recommend this book to anyone with and open mind and an open soul!

• It's Missing The Point 13 June, 2007
In this book, the crows give Dumbo the feather, and he flies with it...The end! The book completely skips over Dumbo realizing he DID NOT need the feather to fly. So we miss maybe the actually significant points of the movie: Dumbo can do whatever he puts his mind to, and realizes that his big ears are an asset and not a liability. The little Golden Book version does not make this mistake.
