The Underground Toy Society Helps Ellie Elephant

Briar's Reviews

The Underground Toy Society series continues with a marvelous addition!

This time around, those pesky kids left Ellie the Elephant behind! But no worries faithful audience, the Underground Toy Society is going to come to the rescue!

My positives:
1. I love the opening picture of the book with two girls holding their stuffed animals and reading. It's utterly adorable and gives you a great feel for what this book is going to be: heartwarming. 
2. The squirrel drawing. That's all. The squirrel itself is a positive. I think Chippy's cute.
3. This children's book is a little longer. It has paragraphs and a full story instead of the typical simple sentences with rhyming schemes.

My negatives:
1. As with the other books by Jessica, the aesthetic of children's drawings may not please all readers. It is by no means a negative for me, but I can see some readers not enjoying it. 
2. How did the mole get a bow and a skirt? Did someone leave them behind and Mindy decided to wear them? I need to know. This is crucial. It is not explained anywhere in the book! 
3. This book didn't have as much of a theme as the original did, but it's still a marvelous little story. 

Overall, this is a cute book and I'd highly recommend picking it up! If you're looking for something different for your kids, then grab this unique book! The pictures are drawn by Jessica's kid, she's a self-published, indie author and it's just a magical little series!

Four out of five stars!

I received a free copy of this book from the author, Jessica D. Adams, in exchange for an honest review.
