Representaion Toward Books The Elephant's Child (Just So Stories)
“The Elephant’s Child” is the first “Just so” story introduced in the Rabbit Ears Storybook Classics series and is easily one of Rabbit Ears’ finest videos since it won a Grammy Award in the late 80s. Jack Nicholson’s silky narration, along with Bobby McFerrin’s harmonic music and Tim Raglin’s colorful illustrations makes “The Elephant’s Child” a worthwhile treat for the whole family to enjoy.
Jack Nicholson’s narration is extremely silk and sarcastic as he narrates an Elephant’s Child’s efforts to find out what the crocodile has for dinner. Jack Nicholson’s best vocal performance would have to be for the Elephant’s Child and the Bi-Colored-Python-Rock Snake. With the Elephant’s Child, Jack Nicholson uses a high pitched and childlike voice to reinforce the adolescence of the Elephant’s Child’s nature and with the Bi-Colored-Python-Rock-Snake, Jack Nicholson makes a snake sound each time he reaches a word that contains the s-syllable. Bobby McFerrin’s music is lovely as he makes harmonic sounds using his voice and his ability to create various sounds from his mouth to make music. Bobby McFerrin’s music creates a mesmerizing atmosphere to the story as his voice sounds like it is so far off the distance. Tim Raglin’s illustrations are brilliant and colorful, especially of the forest where the Elephant’s Child lives in as the trees are green and pink. The illustrations that stood out the most was the illustration of the Elephant’s Child having no trunk as his nose looks like a little stub on his face.
Parents should know that there is quite a bit of violence on this video, mainly of the Elephant’s Child being spanked throughout the video. There is also a bit of violence when the Elephant’s Child encounters the crocodile, but you probably can guess what is going to happen without me spoiling the ending for you. Parents should reassure their children that violence is not always the answer to solve your problems and you should not spank your child just because he or she is curious about the world. Just try to explain to your child about the trials of the world in terms simple enough for your child to understand.
The Elephant’s Child” is a great piece of work from Rabbit Ears Productions and it surely has enough humor and action that will satisfy any child for many years to come. I would recommend this video to children ages eight and up due to some advanced vocabulary that younger children might not understand and some violence that might worry some small children.
This story is also available on DVD through the Rabbit Ears Website and Amazon.

from my sister Sarah:The language, o best beloved, is most delectable. Still, children should be told not to go around spanking those who have only mere-smear noses. (Sorry; I had the wrong edition last time, and the fact that Bobby McFerrin was listed as the author bothered me most 'scruciatingly.)here is a good version: The Children's Treasury: Best Loved Stories And Poems From Around The Worldby First Glance BooksKipling's Just So Stories are literary classics characterized by a wonderful sense of humor and brilliant use of language. In this illustrated version of one, a young elephant (equipped with an abbreviated trunk "as big as a boot") is filled with curiosity, although his family and relations try to drive it out of him through much spanking. He asks endless questions in the manner of small children, receiving many spankings for his trouble, until he hits on a question that provokes a torrent of
I have always loved this story. It encourages curiosity and allows the child to imagine themselves in control without encouraging rebellion like so many current authors do. This is a beautiful edition with great watercolours and ink drawings.
I got this book free with my NookColor, and my kids love it!!! It has come in handy while waiting in line at the grocery store, or in the waiting room at the doctor's and orthodontist. It is wonderfully illustrated with very bright pictures. All Rudyard Kipling stories are classics, but having this on a "Read to Me" ebook is wonderful.
Ha! I loved this book! I have never read a children's book on my NOOK before, and it was such a great experience! I chose the "read it to me" feature just to see what happened. The narrator's voice was perfect. I think my students would LOVE this feature. Now I want to download audiobooks on my NOOK and see how my students like it. Where do I find more awesome books like this?This book is beautifully illustrated, wonderfully narrated, and just a cool little book for kids, teens, AND adults :)
This book was on my NOOK when I received it as a gift. This book is perfect for children. The pictures are vivid, and the story is short and sweet. A very cute story about one curious little elephant.
