review 1: This book is about the story of an Elephant that breaks his trunk. This book is probably one of my favorite Mo Willem books because of how innocent and simple the plot and illustrations are, which perfectly compliment the book as a whole. I don’t really have a lot of critiques for this book because it is such a basic example of a children’s book both based on my expectations and experience in learning about children’s literature and the qualities of a good children’s book in general. I would have this book in my classroom because I think it would be a good read for my students, and also because there is definitely a lesson to be told in the plot. Also this book could be beneficial in presenting the importance of safety in the classroom as some sort of initiative d... moreuring the first few weeks of classroom instruction. Willems, M. (2011). I broke my trunk! New York: Hyperion Books for Children.
