The little elephant is experiencing his first day at school, and while he feels shy in the beginning, the boys and girls soon make him feel at home. Written as a kind of guide book on how to treat an elephant when he first arrives, this brilliant wheeze is really aimed at children who may be feeling a little strange in a new situation. Ormerod's always adorable pictures show us the elephant doing all the things kids enjoy at school (and a few they don't): 'Elephants are good at doing tricks with a ball. But...elephants are NOT good at sharing.' At the end of the day, 'he loves to see his mummy'. A very special book.
