What better than an elephant with a thieving trunk and impeccable
manners! "Would you like a ride?" and "Would you like an ice
cream?. . . a meat pie?... a bun?" the Elephant asks the Bad Baby,
proceeding to steal from every tradesman in town. ("And they went
rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta, all down the road, with the ice cream
man, and the butcher, and the baker, and the snack shop man all
running after.") "`But you haven't once said please! You haven't
ONCE said please!' Then the Elephant sat down suddenly in the
middle of the road and the Bad Baby fell off" and their pursuers
piled up behind - and they were all equally appalled. "PLEASE! I
want to go home to my mother" - who asks if they've come to supper
("Yes, PLEASE") and whips up pancakes for everybody. "Then the
Elephant went rumpeta, rumpeta. . . . But the Bad Baby went to
bed." As good as it sounds, it looks even better - you have only to
see the dirigibuilt Elephant to suspend disbelief, while the
townsfolk fare no better than those who made sport of The Bear on
the Motorcycle. A hugely amusing turnout altogether, thank you.
(Kirkus Reviews)
One day, an Elephant offers a Bad Baby a ride through the town, and so begins a delicious adventure and a "rumpetting" chase. But when the Elephant realizes that the Bad Baby has forgotten his manners, the chase ends with a BUMP . . . and tea for everyone! A classic story all babies, toddlers and their parents will love, warmly and wittily illustrated by Raymond Briggs.
