Emily Brown and the Elephant Emergency

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Emily Brown and an old grey rabbit called Stanley.

One day, Emily Brown and Stanley were whitewater rafting down the turbulent waters of the Zambezi River with their great friend Matilda.

Matilda was just steering them skilfully over the very last rapid with her trunk when there was a 

... Ri-i-i-i-ing! Ri-i-i-i-ing! ... on the emergency telephone.

It's Matilda's mommy in a worried voice ... 

"HELP!"

"This is Matilda's mommy here and I'm TERRIBLY WORRIED. 

I'm worried that your boat might SINK. I'm worried that you might GET EATEN BY CROCODILES. 

I'm worried that THE HIPPOS COULD BE BAD-TEMPERED.

And most importantly ... Matilda isn't wearing her WELLINGTON BOOTS."

A few days later, Matilda the Elephant went for another adventure in the land of the dinosaurs in her Wellington Boots. 

Her worried mommy called again!

AND a few days later, Matilda and Emily were climbing the peak of Mount Everest. 

The Poor Matilda was wearing her Wellingtons, holding her LUNCHBOX and was having a little trouble holding onto the rope ... ... ...

Does the storyline sound familiar to you? 

Or any Helicopter parent around you?

This is another delightful and charming book by Cressida Cowell after her award-winning title That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown.

Recommend to read together with your young children for laughs and inspiration.
