Why the Elephant Has No Butt by Osonye Tess Onwueme

I took a class with Tess Onwueme and she had us read a few books that she had read. Her books are very different and she had to pretty much spell out what and who each of the animals in the text represented. This book was very bland and took too much thinking about what each character represented.
