Humperdink Our Elephant Friend

Every kid needs an elephant as a friend!

One day while a group of small children are having fun with their playgroup and new kid shows up.

He’s an elephant and his name is Humperdink.

At first when Humperdick tries to play games and activities it’s a disaster.  He’s too big and tends to break things.

The children feel bad for him and decide to do the things an elephant likes to do.  They follow him outside, explore the jungle and do all sorts of elephant things.

What a wonderful lesson about friendship, compassion and accepting someone for who they are.

Sean Taylor and Claire Alexander combine their writing and artistic skills to create a heartfelt and touching tale of an elephant who only wants to fit in and the children who make him welcome.  Size, shape and or species-kids are kids.

Beautifully written and illustrated, Humperdink Our Elephant Friend is published by Quarto Knows and Words & Pictures and is perfect for kids three to five years old.
