Sara Gruen delivers a readable tale that’s a tad too formulaic to be fully engaging. In the same way that the narrator of the story insists from personal experience that it is impossible to carry enough water to slake an elephant’s thirst, I’d insist that this container doesn’t hold enough water to satisfy a serious reader.
Also noted: the description of animals and animal behaviors is approximately cartoony, and takes away from the whole.
On the flip side, it is an easy read that won’t occupy more than an evening and Gruen does offer up some fascinating historical details about old-style railroad circuses, which altogether comes off as plausibly true.
