This book works on problem and solution and it always makes me smile to see if they students are able to solve Rashee's problem before the story ends. Rashee is put in charge of moving seven elephants, and while he is riding one he becomes very discouraged when he turns to count and counts only six! Throughout the book he is quite upset that he will disappoint his uncle, but then he realizes he was counting the six elephants behind him and not the one he was riding on. Great book! Short, but good for working on problem and solution!
I really enjoy this book, it is not a typical book such as Dr. Seuss or Where the Wild Things Are.
