Elephants Do Not Belong in Trees

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Squirrel, Monkey, and Bird are happily living in their tree, when Elephant moves in. They try different ways to get rid of him. When a bulldozer approaches to take down the tree, the others realize that Elephant can be very useful. 

Step into the theater of the absurd! Lots of suspension of belief needed here. The illustrations are bright and engaging – who can not laugh at a purple elephant sitting in a tree?
