Where shall Little Elephant play today? As you read the story about the baby elephant, picture icons will prompt you to press the buttons and play the sound effects. The sturdy handle is just right for little hands, at home or on the go.
Little elephant has learned how to do many things: walk backwards, hop on three legs, spin around like a falling leaf, and do wonderful tricks with his trunk -- catch bananas, hold onto his mother's tail, even spray everyone with water! But there's one thing he hasn't quite mastered: he cannot trumpet. Here is a delightful story about a fun-loving little elephant who learns a lot -- but at his own pace! -- encouraged all the way by his proud and loving parents.
