Rossiti  continues with a series of pages containing general facts about elephants, both working elephants and those living in the wild.

 Siti’s story ends with how she was captured in a banana plantation which used to be a forest. Denuding forest land for agriculture is one of the major causes of loss of habitat that is creating the competition between man and the elephant for space. A competition that elephants are losing.  

Dina is back! This time she is helping her father in his farm. We have seen a very sweet Dina dreaming of butterflies in her mother’s garden. We saw her watching her mother very carefully as she cooked in her kitchen.


But this time we see a more purposeful Dina determined to help her father with his chores around the farm whilst enjoying herself at the same time.

One of the more endearing features of Emila’s illustrations of Dina is the way in which she captures typical expressions and behaviours of a young girl. It is almost as if Dina is real. The feature of this book which differentiates it from the two previous Dina adventures, is the presence of animals which children love; rabbits, chicken, cows, sheep, a cat and ducks among others.
 
The story starts with a happy Dina flying a paper aeroplane while sitting on the fence of her father’s farm surrounded by animals.

Written around 150 years ago by Hans Christian Andersen, The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree has not lost any of its poignant beauty for readers today. This version produced by Oyez!Books has been modernised and simplified for children of today but this has not in any way changed the central theme of the story. Indeed the illustrations by Chooi Ling have brought out the beauty of the story. She has captured each scene in the most alluring way with her art.
 
The story commences with a  broad view of ships lying at anchor in a small harbour as nearby the 365 year old oak tree spreads its leafy branches.
