I liked the White Elephant because it was very nice and I can picture it in my head. Plus, it is a good thing that the tiger did not hurt anyone.

What I think of the story: It was interesting. If you ask me Run Run showed a lot of action and I like the details in the story. Walking Mountain was old in the end of the story and the king was saved by Run Run. That was the part I liked and I liked the details in the pictures because they showed the elephants. The story was so so good! I hope you like what I wrote.

I think that the white elephant was an awesome book. And the part I like the best is when prince noi cursed walking mountain. The reason why I picked this scene is because I thought that it was cruel that prince noi cursed him. Also he gave him the white elephant. Kimberly p.

This book was a bit slow in the begginning. Then it got interesting in the middle and into the end. It was interesting to see that Run Run growed to love the white elephant.
