An incredible and uplifting true story about how music has healed troubled elephants in a sanctuary in Thailand.
Some stories are true. Others are make-believe. And some true stories are so amazing that it seems they must be make-believe even when they are not…
This is one of those stories.
In a sanctuary in Thailand lived an elephant called Bonti. Short-tempered and destructive, Bonti was alone – the other elephants (and humans) knew to keep their distance. But when a musician came to play the piano for Bonti, something incredible happened…
The Elephant and the Piano tells the spectacular true story of Paul Barton and the elephants who loved to hear him play.

enjoyed reading this book. found it quite amusing!
It was a very nice story because all the elephants just gathered round together and listened to the very nice music coming from the piano
I looked when the elephant stomped and all the other elephants came and danced to the piano music too!
I like top play piano
I like the elephant, and how he didnt hurt the man because he knew hw was trying to help him. I like that he has one pal that comforted him.

The piano sounds so weird
The book was fascinating because Bonti changed from being angry to happy just from listening to the piano. He then got to play his own elephant piano built by Paul. I can't believe it was based on a true story about a man from England travelling to Thailand.
Beautiful story about elephant
I liked when the elephant played with the person. It is based on real life.
I didn't like the Bonti story as much because he is sad. But music helps him get better and that's nice.
