The elephant is the kindest animal in the jungle, rescuing the giraffe, lion, and rhino, but who will return the favor when the elephant needs help? This description may be from another edition of this product.
I specifically ordered this book thinking it was a hard back and it lists it as such in the description but it arrived a soft cover. I’m very disappointed but gave it three stars b/c this book is so precious to me that any copy of it is still valuable to me and I’m glad I could find it.
By far one of my favorite kids books!

I won't rehash the stories below other than to say that all the animals with attitude mirror many of the people you meet in life -- the self-important, the vain, the shallow, the overly proud, etc. makes for great lesson on how there are people out there that are not always so nice -- like you!
The best book ever.....

My mother read this book to us all the time....it is a wonderful story with a great moral. I am a substitute also and I read it all the time! Students from kindergarten through fourth grade sit entranced while I read. This book is my favorite story of all time!
Great book! For adults, too.

I bought this book many years ago. Liked it so much, and so did my 2 sons, that I bought 2 more. When I began substitute teaching, I would grab one of his books. It was always a good way to get acquainted with the kids -- and they loved being read to, plus the illustrations are wonderful. Such talent!!!
Wonderful story with a moral!

I read this book when I was young. Recently, I bought it for my son. The moral holds true. The illustations are WONDERFUL!
