I've known my mama for such a long time. For my whole life, actually. My mama loves playing with me and my cars. I like that, as long as mama tidies up the cars afterwards. I'm good at hiding. No one can find me, not even my mama ... and then suddenly I shout, "PEEKABOO!" My mama's scared to death! I laugh and laugh. At night, my mama shakes the stars off my pants. I give her a big hug and say. "Goodnight stars, see you tomorrow!" A cheeky elephant tells all about his mother in this lovingly drawn story. Both parents and children will delight in and recognize this gorgeous mother-child relationship-if not for the same reasons.
