Review: Elphie, Help Me - Seems to be a cute story.
Rating: 4 out of 5

While I could not get the initial navigation icons to work on my android phone or tablet, I did finally scroll pages until the Start Here Pink elephant came up. Once there I started down the story line and got lost in the navigation twice before figuring out there were two sets of stories attached to the different elephant icons. The second time starting over following the trunk icons kept me on track for the elephant trunk stories. The third time through the book following the body icons, I read the body shape stories. It was obvious the two sets of stories were similar but they would be interesting to the 3 to 6 year old crowd. The 7 and 8 year olds may be not so much. The stories themselves were cute, short and contained good messages for kids about self esteem; especially younger children (IMO). These were the kind of stories that could be read to younger children as bedtime stories or at story time if parents still do such things.I recommend this book's content as suitable for the younger crowd of say 3 to 6 years old. With the sophistication of the electronic devices kids are exposed to in today's age, I wonder if they are not a bit simplistic for the 7 year old up crowd.Hopefully the author will take time to find out why the initial icons that are supposed to take the reader to the story beginning do not work on android devices.
