What's great about this book is the description of the Elizabeth and what she does. The story line references determination, love and perseverance but what my class kids and I loved is the detail in the book. The illustrations compliment the words and there are some great fun facts about elephant seals at the back. This was a nice touch and the animal lovers in my class loved this part. What better way to get children interested in animals than having a story about animals and then giving them real life facts about it.
