The Cowboy and His Elephant: The Story of a Remarkable Friendship (Isis (Hardcover Large Print))

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: I am so glad I bought this book, having run across it checking for any update book on Modoc by Ralph Helfer. What a big heart Bob Norris had for animals - one many of us can relate to. How wonderful that he could take Amy and love her and care for her and yet let her go, how heartbreaking. Some day at the Rainbow Bridge, where spirits are reunited with beloved pets, I'm sure Bob and Amy will be reunited for eternity. Thank you, Malcolm MacPherson, for this very moving and beautiful story. Please write a sequel telling and showing how Amy is today, if she is living in Africa and how Bob and Jane Norris are doing. It would be a great gift for any reader of this amazing true story.

Summary: The Cowboy and His Elephant
Review: The Cowboy and His Elephant is a very touching and funny book. It tells a true story about the Marbolo Man. He adopts a baby elephant that was captured from the plains of Africa. The baby elephants colony was killed by poachers one night. A man that runs a nature reserve in africa takes the baby elephant in and help keep her alive for a while then she is shipped of to the U.S. The man who owns the five need to borrow some stalls to hold the elephants in. Well the man who he borrows the stalls off of is the Marbolo Man. The five elephants are all very little. The runt named Amy is alwaysed being picked on by the other four elephants. The Marbolo man takes Amy under his wing and takes care of her as best as he can. He decides to buy Amy. All of his horse hands loved Amy, the animals also liked amy. The billygoat liked Amy alot. Amy was getting very big. So the Marbolo man had to make a very hard decision but I will leave that to you to find out. If I could rate this book higher than a Five I would give it a 100.

Summary: Awesome book
Review: The Cowboy and his elephant is an exellent book for any reader. No matter what kind of book you like to read this book will satisfy your interest. This book is about a cowboy (the Marlboro Man) that owns a ranch. A transporter from africa comes and asks to store some animals. Bob (the cowboy) instantly falls in love with a special elephant. They have an interesting relationship that can only be described in the words of author Malcom MacPhearson. Sadly the fun must end the elephant ,that bob names Amy, gets too big for Bob's ranch. She finds happiness at another place though, when she starts to work in a circus. If you are looking for a book to read this is definately the one.
