The Obvious Elephant (Audio cassette, New edition)

The inhabitants of a town, where an elephant had never been seen or heard of before, wake up to find a confused but friendly one in their main square. The elephant is wondering how it got there while the people wonder what exactly it is. What follows is a charming tale as the town's inhabitants attempt to discover what you do with this new creature. Is it electric, can you plug it in? It's a submarine, there's the periscope! Is it a railway engine, does it carry coal? On this the elephant is quite emphatic: it is fuelled by cakes and buns, not coal. Written and beautifully illustrated by a husband and wife team, Sophie Windham was recently short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Award for her artwork. The full-page colour illustrations perfectly complement this fun and delightful story. (Kirkus UK)

When an elephant arrives - unannounced and totally unexpected - in the village square, no one knows what it is. But everyone is prepared to make a wild guess. Could it be a train? Or a fire engine or even something for collecting rubbish? It is all down to the persistence of one little boy called Eric that eventually ensures that the identity of the elephant is deduced - and the poor thing is given a name. A funny, unusual and very whimsical picture book.
