First 3 verses only:

I have a special story
Of a prince and elephant
When Ellie was a baby
She was born to be a runt.

Akbar Khan was ruler
Born in the highest caste
Afghanistan and India
He ruled in centuries past.

Akbar was the prince
In India long ago
Who took Ellie in to train
And so he watched her grow. . . .

" 'Akbar and Ellie' was the longest of her stories that I read. I felt very involved with the characters. Also this story taught lessons. Akbar learned and grew in the story. The morals at the end were good ones, simple, to the point and fun - 'And the opportunity you must be sure to never miss, to always give your closest friends a big hug and a kiss.'" - Laura Hegre, Mpls., MN

"This story conjured up wonderful illustrations of far away places. I appreciate the moral for children to understand how to be a good friend." - Patrice Rosinbaum, Eagan, MN

"Your style of writing made it easy to visualize the story. You had a clever way of revealing the relationship between Ellie and Akbar. I enjoyed your light humor." - Sharon Planer, Annandale, MN
