 (A Review by Elijah Mwashayenyi)

This is a story about Jumbo, an elephant who was so arrogant because of his size and strength that he felt he could not listen to anyone. He basically trampled on everybody’s rights. What Jumbo did not realise was that no matter how small your neighbour might be he/she has rights too and can influence the course of your life. 

A nice children’s story which gives a strong message that cuts across different age groups. This story teaches that if a person does not listen to advice he/she will end up in problems just as Jumbo did. Berry Shaba tells the story in simple and straight forward language that makes it easy to understand but at the same time is so absorbing that you want to hear what happened next. It makes good reading. I recommend it for the primary school libraries.
