An epic story of determination and love, about one family's escape from the Allied bombing of Dresden in the Second World War.

Lizzie and Karl's mother is a zoo keeper; the family has become attached to an orphaned elephant named Marlene, who will be destroyed as a precautionary measure so she and the other animals don't run wild should the zoo be hit by bombs. The family persuades the zoo director to let Marlene stay in their garden instead. When the city is bombed, the family flees with thousands of others, but how can they walk the same route when they have an elephant in tow, and keep themselves safe? Along the way, they meet Peter, a Canadian navigator who risks his own capture to save the family.

As Michael Morpurgo writes in an author's note, An Elephant in the Garden is inspired by historical truths, and by his admiration for elephants, "the noblest and wisest and most sensitive of all creatures." Here is a story that brings together an unlikely group of survivors whose faith in kindness and love proves the best weapon of all.

Die mans in Rose se lewe het haar almal gedrop. Na haar boetie, Gerard, se dood het haar ouers ook van haar vergeet. Deesdae kyk haar ma hopeloos te diep in die bottel en dwaal haar pa se oog heeltemal te veel. Vir Rose is hulle net Blackie en Verona, die mense met wie sy 'n huis moet deel tot sy agtien is. Haar laaste hoop en anker was Rodriek, maar ook hy begin vreemd optree. Hoekom maak hy asof sy saam met hom iets spesiaals gedeel het? Het hy haar drankie gedokter om haar in die bed te kry? Hoekom kan sy niks van die aand onthou nie? Vir die eerste keer in haar lewe is Rose werklik alleen. Selfs haar boesemvriendinne mag nie die detail van die verskriklike aand weet nie.

Soos elke jaar klim al die diere en skepsels teen die heuwel op vir 'n vergadering. Hierdie jaar het olifant 'n vraag, 'n moeilike vraag: Hoe weet mens dat jy iemand liefhet? Die verhaal begin met 'n groot prent van 'n treurige olifant met 'n klein stoeltjie op sy kop en 'n blom in sy mond. Die vergadering wat olifant se vraag moet bespreek, word gelei deur Mier, wat die woord gee aan Muis, Sneeuwitjie, 'n klip, 'n swerwer, 'n ysbeer en nog vele ander skepsels. As hulle saam by klomp filosofiese antwoorde oor die liefde gekom het, word die vergadering gesluit en gaan elkeen tevrede huis toe. Net Mier, wat oor die liefde skepties is, weet nie waarom sy skielik so alleen voel nie. Olifant se vraag is 'n ontroerende verhaal oor die vele fasette van die liefde. Leen van der Berg bied die jong leser veel om verder oor te droom en te filosofeer. Kaatje Vermeire se illustrasies, 'n kombinasie tussen grafiek en illustrasies, is 'n pragtige versmelting van realisme en fantasie. Die boek vorm sowel vir die oogstrelende fantasieryke prente, as vir die boeiende teks, stof tot nadenke en bepeinsing.
