A charming story of love and hope, The Magician's Elephant was a delightful surprise. I can't recall who recommended it to me, but if I could remember, I'd thank them. I loved the writing, the descriptions, and most of all, the story of a little boy and love. Absolutely wonderful, and just begging t...
3.5 It is a lovely story, with the feel of the classic fable - I would highly recommend it as a read-aloud or along-with for ages six and up, although I highly enjoyed it on its own. It is a story of magic and love and hope and dreams.

Completely beautiful. After finishing In the Woods by Tana French, this book was a nice departure from its mood and a quick read. This book is filled with magic, wonder and inspiration.
