Colour Young Puffin Poppet

by Dick King-Smith

Poppet is a little African elephant. When he is born, his mother warns him against mice because they run up elephants' trunks. Poppet spends some time asking various creatures if they are mice and then, to his horror, one of them says 'Yes'. However, Momo the mouse persuades Poppet that he's been told an old wives' tale and the two become friends. Poppet's mother is horrified but is won over in the end by Momo's eloquence.

Poppet evaluation

This book is very fun. Many children might like to learn and read from this book and they might find it interesting and might talk about it to many of their friends as well. I liked it when Poppet and Momo, the mouse, had met. I also liked the speech what Momo had said to Poppet's mother and aunties that mice don't go up elephants trunks! Well, that was my review.
