Review

Children love Pourquoi tales (stories that tell the ‘origin’ of things). And this humourous tale of the elephant’s trunk will appeal to their curiosity. By way of the many funny but unfortunate situations the trunk-less elephant is in, kids learn about how useful an elephant’s trunk is. The jungle animals are also depicted in a very lovable manner and the idea of a stinky elephant will no doubt add to the attractiveness of this story – especially for little tikes who detest bathing!
