Owning an elephant is terrific--until he gets lonely and invites a friend over. Fun and silliness abound in this buoyant counting book.
Every time a busy little girl leaves home, her elephant friend gets lonely. So, he invites more elephants over and they all join the little girl in all her fun activities, from swimming in the local pool to dancing in her ballet class!
As the number of elephants increases, so do their antics, and the resourceful heroine finally has to find her companions a new home where she can visit them...and make a few new friends too.
Readers will be amused by the exuberant characters and mounting silliness in Anne Ginkel's unique counting tale. Illustrator Janie Bynum's brightly colored illustrations and affectionately drawn, expressive characters capture the story's good-natured fun.
