What the Elephant Told

Believe it or not, a boy and an elephant have a lot in common . . . When a young boy and a young elephant meet in an animal park, they instantly take a liking to each other. "I was born out of my mother, too," the boy said. "But first I grew inside her for nine months." "We grow inside our mothers for twenty-two months," said the elephant. They go on talking about how they each visit the bathroom, how they express fear, what they each eat . . . By the end of the day, they curl up together and napone sucking his thumb and the other his trunk. Playful text and fun-filled illustrations reveal many true and fascinating commonalities between elephants and humans.Brenner, Barbara is the author of 'What the Elephant Told', published 2003 under ISBN 9780805064421 and ISBN 0805064427.
