Summary | "In this companion to the delightful What About an Octopus?, the same curious girl goes looking for interesting photos to take while on safari and finds a new friend along the way: "Hello, Elephant!" After all, elephants are not terribly hard to spot. Soon the elephant is leading the way to a watering hole, which it remembers exactly how to get to (of course). On their playful expedition, the little girl observes and learns from her jumbo-sized friend. Feeling the heat? Fan yourself using your large ears -- or the brim of your hat! Forgot your sunscreen? No matter -- just cover yourself in mud. And not to worry about tracking that muck into the house -- an elephant has a built-in shower to wash it off. After a day of fun and friendship, it's time to say good-bye, but not without first taking a very special photo to remember the day by. Fascinating elephant facts are woven through the playfully written story to add context -- a blend of fact and fiction that makes this book as informative as it is endearing. It concludes with a page of "Extra Elephant Facts""-- |
