About
If you enjoy family adventures that mix animal rescue with wartime stakes, and liked Oddball or My Father's Dragon, this should appeal; Not for you if bombing-era peril or kid-focused stories are a turnoff.
Pros: brave kids and teamwork; baby elephant appeal; tense rescue premise | Cons: wartime danger; stressful bombing backdrop; simple family tone
