A little boy imagines what it would be like to have a real elephant as a pet—playing hide-and-seek, painting pictures, and splashing in the bath—until Grandad gently points out the practical problems! Bold, textured collage and cut-out pages let children peek through the elephant’s ears and trunk for extra giggles. A joyful, imaginative celebration of childhood fantasy from the Kate Greenaway-shortlisted creator of The Mouse Who Ate the Moon – perfect for ages 2–5.
