This book was a great and fun example of a fantasy picture book. It is a fantasy because in this book animals talk and they can do a lot of things that people can do. Animals cannot talk or do many things that people can do in real life so this makes it fantasy because the impossible is possible in the book.
This book is the story of Oliver. Oliver is an elephant who came across the ocean to be in the circus but the circus man only needed ten elephants and Oliver made eleven so Oliver tries to find something else to do. But he is not good at acting like any other animal and at the end he dances for some children and the circus man sees it and asks Oliver to be in the circus.
