<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>Thai Thai's Very Curly Tail</em> is a happy story about a young girl, Katie, who is volunteering with her mother at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. </strong>The sanctuary cared for elephants who were older, or who had been working too hard, or who had been hurt. Every morning, as volunteers, they prepared breakfast for the elephants. <strong>One morning Katie discovers a puppy with the elephant, Boon Mee, his tail curled tightly around her trunk.</strong> Feeding Boon Mee her favorite food-watermelon including the rinds-they separate the puppy from the trunk. <strong>Katie knew the puppy would go home with her, but first they had to visit the doggy doctor. "His tail may never straighten," the doggy doctor said.</strong> Katie didn't care. Soon she and her mother have to return home to the United States. <strong>A month later the puppy makes the 30 hour trip to join Katie across the world. His tail was as curly as it was at the sanctuary. </strong>"I'll call him Thai Thai," Katie said, "since he's from Thailand."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Thai Thai's Very Curly Tail" is heartwarming, fun to read, and will educate kids as to what an Asian elephant sanctuary is like. And that this tale is based on a real journey makes it even more delightful. I loved the unique illustrations that had an Asian influence, and the photo of the "real" Thai Thai at the back of the book gave the story a special poignancy." Steve Charney, Children's author, songwriter, and stage performer.</p><p><br></p><p>Nell's mother: "We read <em>Thai Thai's Very Curly Tail </em>at least twice a day.
