How the Elephant Got Its Trunk

by Jean Richards

Book Overview

How did elephants get their trunks? This imaginative tale offers up a most fantastical answer "Hippopotamus!" little elephant called. "Yes, little elephant, what can I do for you?" "Excuse me, please, but could you tell me what the crocodile eats for dinner?" Here is a story that takes place a long time ago, before elephants had trunks for noses . . . One day a very special elephant comes along - an unusually curious elephant - and she has an important question that she needs answered. Little does she know her question will lead to an amazing discovery. This vibrant retelling of one of Rudyard Kipling's beloved Just-So Stories is sure to be appreciated and enjoyed by young children.
