Lost Little Elephant

Little Elephant lives on the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

Even though he is called 'Little', he is really very big with huge, flappy ears, just like all African elephants.

One day, Little Elephant received a letter from his Indian cousin, Aziz ...

That very day, Little Elephant set out on his long, long journey to India ...

I picked up this book from the library last week and thought it would be good to help my five years old learning about geography in an entertaining and colorful way.

The illustrations on every page is fantastic! My girl described this book as the It's a Small World ride at Disneyland where you can adventure through famous cities, amazing monuments and natural wonders around the world.

We have decided to add this book to our collections, so that we can adventure through  
Table Mountain in South Africa 
The Great Pyramids in Egypt 
Vatican City in Rome 
The Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona 
The Eiffel Tower in Paris
Big Ben in London
Alluitsup Paa in Greenland
CN Tower in Toronto
Statue of Liberty in New York
Angel Falls in Venezuela
Machu Piccu in Peru
City of Angels in Thailand 
and our last stop,  
Delhi where Little Elephant finally met his cousin.

Highly recommend this book to all little adventurers!

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.
