This is the true story of a boy and an elephant who were born at almost the same moment on a German farm in 1896. They were raised together like siblings. The boy, Bram, expects to be a trainer himself when he grows up. But when he is thirteen years old, the circus animals are sold to an American circus. Bram decides to stow sway on the ship to America carrying Modoc. At sea, the ship sinks in a dramatic scene, and Modoc saves the lives of Bram and many others, keeping them afloat after they are too exhausted to swim. When help arrives, the ship can't hold Modoc, and Bram refuses to abandon her. But Bram and Modoc somehow survive. In a postscript, the author describes how the two are separated for a time when Modoc is sold behind Bram's back, but are eventually reunited.
Mosey: The Remarkable Friendship of a Boy and His Elephant Reviews
-
I saw a book about the life of Mosey and decided to read the younger version to get the story but save time. This book is definitely a younger person’s read. The story was basic and to the point. How brave Bram was and incredible Mosey was. I enjoyed reading about the ship and their lives afterwards. What an amazing animal!

I thought this was a great book, I wanted to try something new so I just went to the book store & grabbed a random book from the shelf. If you are an animal lover you would definitely enjoy this book. It is a very touching story about a boy & his elephant and the interesting life they both had.

This was a cute story of an elephant that lives for his best friend- a boy that trains him for a circus.
