![]() ![]() Bram stowed away on the ship and started a lifetime journey with his elephant friend. Modoc was to shipped to America - without Bram. Modoc was born and Josef was still prouder, knowing that Modoc was a very special elephant from the get-go. Bram was born and his father, Josef, was proud. (That sounds weird, doesn't it?) Bram's father was an elephant trainer in a small German circus town and even Bram's mother knew that elephants came first. Bram and Modoc were born on the same day. The author of this book, Ralph Helfer is a "well-known Hollywood animal trainer" who appears to have been fascinated by the story of Modoc and his best friend, a young German by the name of Bram. Again, I can't really say that I love elephants all that much but my son likes the concept of them and so the cover art on this book gets a round of applause out of this household. ![]() I imagine that she got a lot out of talking about something as large as an elephant and I am looking forward to it! We haven't gotten together yet to discuss the book but I really wanted to hear what she had to say about it because this is a lady who is so on fire for God she can draw a message out of A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. I read this book because a fabulous lady from our church recommended it for our church book club. I mean doesn't the title just make you wonder? Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived. Seriously, what am I doing reading this book? Elephants aren't exactly my thing. ![]() ![]() Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74). ![]()
