Review: The Gray Elk

I find that books written by Kevis Hendrickson are usually for young adults and older readers. I think The Gray Elk is unique among the works of his that I've read because it is more of a children's story. The writing style and the feel of this little tale make me feel like it should almost start with `once upon a time' and end with `happily ever after.' Like any good children's fantasy, the story is full beauty, kindness and moral lessons. What's more, the plot develops very quickly which I think is perfect for short, impatient attention spans - like mine :) . Younger and older children both will have their imagination stimulated by this tale as they read it over and over again.
