Check Out Tarra Bella: The Elephant And Dog Who Became Best Friends Planned By Carol Buckley Ready In Kindle

interesting to see something like this happen in the four legged animal world, It's something the two legged human animals can learn from, My kids enjoyed. Tarra was a rollerskating elephant in the circus, in a movie, and on television, Finally, she was retired and taken to live in a sanctuary for elephants in Tennessee, Usually, an elephant will befriend another elephant, but Tarra did not make a friend there for a long time, One day, however, she met Bella and, unexpectedly, the two became best friends,

The text is simple and easy to understand, The book is illustrated with photographs of Tarra and Bella,

A little:
“Bella was rushed to the animal hospital, where the vets said she had a spinal cord injury, No one knew if Bella would ever walk again, but they took Bella home and made her comfortable in the heated office above the elephant barn while they tried to nurse her back to help.
Through a large window Bella watched longingly as the elephants played outside, Meanwhile, for two full days, Tarra remained standing at the exact spot where Bella had been found, waiting for Bella to return, ”

Childrens comments:
One child said, "I like how a little bitty animal and a big animal are friends, " Another child said she liked how loving the pictures are, Both boys and girls liked this book, Most gave it a five, but a few thought it was a three,
This story of an unlikely friendship will for sure go straight to your heart! Copyright
Children's Literature
Theme: Friends come in all shapes and sizes.

This was a very sweet book about the loving friendship between an elephant and a dog, I think this would be a great book to share with the younger generation of students and would teach them that friends come into our lives when we least expect them.
I learned new things myself like Tarra was in Annie which I had no idea and have always loved the movie, See my QampA including updates with Carol Buckley and learn more about Tarra at sitelinkwww, readrantrockandroll. com

Tarra amp Bella: The Elephant and Dog Who Became Best Friends by Carol Buckley is the touching story about an unlikely animal friendship between Tarra the elephant, and Bella the dog at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.


The story itself is so heartwarming, but the added photographs of Tarra amp Bella make it one of the best animal friendship books we've read.


After reading about Tarra amp Bella, we headed over to sitelinkwww, elephants. com to take a look at the live Elecam video feed, Children can view the elephants at the Elephant Sanctuary in real time,

Even though this book came out in, it's one of our favorite children's books in,

I made it aboutof the way through this book before I had to grab a metaphorical tissue, :

This is a wonderful true example of finding friendship in the most unexpected places, I love the sincere and unbreakable bond between Elephant and Dog their loyalty is truly something to aspire to,

The book chronicles the elephant's Tara arrival to the sanctuary, her part in introducing new elephants to the sanctuary and how she never gets her one best friend.
Until the sweet dog, Bella, shows up and then they are forever together,

Until Bella gets sick and yes, this is the tissue part because Tarra stays with Bella until the keepers find and take Bella to get better.

Even then, Tarra's loyalty shines through, and the bond between Tarra and Bella never falters,

As far as prose, I didn't find anything exceptional here, but the pictures were quite beautiful in illustrating the story,

Definitely recommended! And, though this book definitely tugs at the heart, it's in a good way and the book will leave you with a smile.



Thanks for the recommendation, Katie!
I actually just saw a segment about Tarra and Bella on Oprah last week! lol! They looked so adorable and there was this very touching bit about when the dog Bella, or Tarra was housebound for a while.
Sniffle! I hope you can find this a the library, if not, I'll have to find it on Amazon: I need stories like this.
Sometimes I hear stories that make me want to lose faith, And sometimes I find a story like this,
I couldn't stop thinking the last few nights about an article I read about a "woman" who, because of anger towards her boyfriend, picked up his puppy and threw him or her out of a second story window.
The dog didn't live. I suppose that was a blessing in itself, The boyfriend Was he furious Did he want the person responsible locked up Punished No, "She didn't mean it. " That hurts. And I volunteer a lot of my and my daughters time to animal rescue, Dog rescue for the most part, We've seen a lot that hurts,
So every once in awhile, when I'm really hitting bottom I need a story like this, One where a good cry is called for, Whether it involved human and animals or only one doesn't matter, This happens to involved both,
I remembered this title the other day the day after reading the article mentioned above and I ordered it from my library along with sitelinkOwen amp Mzee: The True Story Of A Remarkable Friendship which I'd heard of awhile back and just hadn't ordered.
Turns out this was sitting at my library so I didn't have to wait for it to be moved, Good thing.
How can people be so violent and angry and evil and animals be so pure and loving and giving Aren't we supposed to be the evolved The smartest I think we're fooling ourselves.

This story is about Tarra, a retired show elephant don't get me started and Bella, a stray dog, One can only wonder and guess what their lives before finding each other were like, IMO it's safe to assume both most likely met with horrors like most of us will never know,
Bella wanders onto the TN, reserve that Tarra lives on and even though Tarra is somewhat of a loner she didn't pair with a friend like the other elephants, after she wakes up to find this tiny to her dog sleeping with her, they become best friends.
Literally.
Tarra and Bella ate and drank together, they played together, they slept together,
Tarra didn't move from one spot where Bella was found hurt for two days, waiting for her friend to come back.
How many of us would give up two full days for a best friend After the two days Tarra went straight to where Bella was resting after having a vet visit and the vet finding a spinal injury.
The caretakers say Tarra had no way of knowing where Bella had been taken, I can believe that so easily,
With Bella barking and wiggling to get outside and Tarra outside making her elephant noises, the overwhelmingly caring people picked Bella up and carried her outside.
To see her friend. The pictures show a man carrying Bella, setting her down gently, supporting her so she could keep on her feet, . . and Tarra. Tarra gently nosing her trunk along Bella's body, Like she was checking her, or hugging her,
Every day after that the ritual was performed until Bella was healthy enough to go back to her friend,
Imagine an elephant, and a dog, standing next to one another, Taking a walk together. Playing in water together. That's what you see here, And I can't understand why we can't be more like them, It hurts so bad that these animals have so much to teach us and most of us aren't listening, It hurts so bad that these animals want only love and basic care, if that, and nothing more yet so many people can't seem to give this to them.
Why
The people who opened and run this reserve are heroes, Much more so than any football player, golfer, rapper, singer, etc, If there's anyone I want to be like, or want my daughter to make her idol, it's these people, It's the man in the pictures who was so clearly gentle with Bella, It's the person who made the reserve possible in the first place, It's the person who made the choice not to keep the strays from wandering onto their property, What if they had Bella and Tarra would have never met, Tarra would possibly have never known her best friend, Bella would have died, last October probably much, much sooner without the care she received at the reserve, still a stray, still unloved by animals and people alike.

The book gives a website sitelinkwww, elephants. com I can't say how much I recommend visiting that site, There are numerous ways to donate guess how much it costs to feed an elephant for a day and there is so, so much more.
Visitors can donate in Bella's honor which is a beautiful, beautiful gesture,
When we finished the book Julia asked me if Tarra and Bella were still alive and together, We went to the website and the first thing my

eyes fell on was Bella's death date, My eyes instantly welled up, Julia saw me and hers did the same, She knows Tarra is alive and well and she knows Bella is in heaven waiting for her best friend, But she just couldn't understand how sad Tarra must be without her best friend,
It's a terribly hard thing to see your child cry, Yet I can honestly say I hope Julia never sees the day where she wouldn't cry over something like this,
Bella was a beautiful dog and Tarra is a beautiful elephant, The people shown and talked about are beautiful people, The type of beautiful that actually count for something, All of that equals a very beautiful story that I wouldn't recommend missing,

Parents/guardians/teacher/etc, The end of the story does not end with Bella dying, In fact, as this was written inand Bella didn't pass away until October of, it ends with 'Today, Bella an Tarra can be found walking through the woods.
. They are truly forever best friends, '

Even a very, very young child stands to gain so much from these pictures and this story, not to mention the people and the animals.
This is a delightful childrens book on the subject of an interspecies friendship between Tarra, an Asian elephant at Tennessees Elephant Sanctuary, and Bella, a mixedbreed stray dog who showed up on the property.
Despite their obvious differences, the two became fast friends,

The fullcolor photographs do a great job in study of perspective, We get to see how truly massive the elephant is in relation to the little dogand how gentle she must be in order to look after Bella.


A section in the back, geared toward adults, explains the purpose and mission of the Elephant Sanctuary and directs readers to websites for further information.


This book would be an excellent readaloud choice for a humane education presentation,
This book tells such a sweet story, and the photographs are beautiful! My niece enjoyed this story more than my nephew did, but surprisingly, neither kid seemed too emotionally invested.
I think the kids liked this book, but I think their reactions to it were less enthusiastic than I expected, I really thought that my niece would just love this book, but I was much more swept up by the warmfuzzy factor than she was.
My niece spent most of the story wondering how the friendship between this elephant and dog was going to "break," who knew she was so cynical, and my nephew spent most of the story wondering when the elephant was going to step on the dog.


Still, the reactions of my niece and nephew aside, this is a lovely book that tells about a wonderful interspecies friendship/companionship.
I really think that sensitive children would enjoy this story, and I think it could work well in a classroom setting, too, This true story is about the unusual forever friendship between Tarra an elephant living in the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee, and Bella a stray dog who appeared by Tarra's side one morning.
Tarra had not bonded with any of the other elephants, but it was an immediate friendship with Bella, Lovely story illustrated with beautiful photography, Mommy's review from
