An Elephant in the Garden

I thought this book was quite good.

I enjoyed reading this book and I just wanted to keep reading on to find out what was going to happen next in the story. It was also a bit of a sad story because Lizzie ( a lady in a care home ) was telling the nurse and the nurse's son the story of her childhood which was when there was a war going on which is very scary and hard especially when they have an elephant to look after.

It was a bit long, but it was made by my favourite author.

It was a good book and I like how it has a story in the middle of a story.

I love this book.I gave it 5 stars.My favourite character is Elizebeth.It’s got sad parts but a happy ending.It made me feel like I wanted to read it all at once.

I loved this book as it had a lot of tense and suspension and I had to hold my breath while reading some parts. But on some parts I was on the brink of tears. Very good book and I really recommend it.

I enjoyed this book because it had lots of adventure.

i loved it

It is really breath-taking and the elephant Marlene is really cute. Michael Morpurgo is my new favourite author.

I liked reading the book because it was a clear story and had a great ending (although it was a bit sad at the start).

I liked it and my favourite person was Peter because he was the Germans enemy but was friendly with them and I would recommend it to people who are interested in world war 2.

Amazing . Brilliant . My favourite character was Marlene . Try This Book .

An Elephant in the Garden by Michael Morpurgo When Liz, an elderly patient starts to tell Karl all about her elephant that she owned when she was a young child, a tale begins to unravel as she recalls her childhood memories of her story again. On the run from the Americans and the Russians, Mutti(her mother),Karli(her brother) and herself are escaping from their burning German city, and it is made harder to escape with an elephant. Fleeing from their home city, they meet a Canadian Air Force pilot. He takes them on a journey to safety where Marlene(the elephant) is lost in the forest. Will her family and a friend be able to find Marlene in time? A sensational tale of a family lost in the ruins of war and an uplifting ending pulling the tale together. I would recommend this book to those of you who love dramatic cliff-hangers and unexpected turn of events and rate it four out of five stars. Hope you enjoy this book, have fun reading!

This book was about a person in hospital and the woman had a grandchild and told him stories about a lost compass and an elephant in the garden. My favourite character is Karli because he is very adventurous.

book is ok and good only if a person loves war

I liked it.

I found it interesting to learn about German civilians in WW2. My favourite character was Mutti because she helped everyone to keep going. I would recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction or animal books.

Another Michael Morocco amazing book. Love his stories , very descriptive about war though.

If you want to know about how it would be like in ww2 this is your book.

I really loved this book, I rate it 5/5. My favourite author is Michael Morpurgo and my favourite animal is an elephant so it was a great mix! My favourite person was Peter because he was kind and caring even towards an enemy in the war. my favourite part was when Lizzie told Marlene about how she loved Peter. I would definitely recommend!

it is a very good book

Elizabeth is also known as Lizzie is my favourite character.

Amazing

i like all of the michael morpurgo books i have read so far. i have enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this book because the character in the story, Lizzie, is telling a story so it isn’t justa story about some characters that go on an adventure, it is about a story that has happened in Germany 1945. In this year Lizzie, Karli, Lizzie’s little brother, and their mother are in Dresden and lots of Allied Bombs start to fall all around them. It is quite sad when their home gets destroyed and they have to flee through the city. In the middle of the book I feel worried because I thought that the Russian Troops might reach them and something bad might happen but it turns out they didn’t reach them. Michael Morpurgo makes the book very detailed so when they had to take the elephant with the it made me feel scared that it might get up to mischief. I enjoyed this book because it made me think a lot about what was happening and it made me feel different emotions at different parts of the story.

I really enjoyed reading this book which is about an old lady called Lizzy and she tells a little boy about her childhood durning war. I recommend this book to you if you enjoy stories that are set in war.

My favourite character was Karli because he had a good sense of humour. I liked this book because Marlene can always find her way to her family.

I liked this book because it is about a elephant

I loved this book as i like reading about the war. it was a fiction book but based around the 2nd world war. i would defiantly recommend this book

It’s scary but I like reading with my mummy
