When an elephant comes to school ISBN: 9781845070656
Ormerod, Jan
Published by Frances Lincoln, 2004
The little elephant is experiencing his first day at school, and while he feels shy in the beginning, the boys and girls soon make him feel at home. Written as a kind of guide book on how to treat an elephant when he first arrives, this brilliant wheeze is really aimed at children who may be feeling a little strange in a new situation. Ormerod's always adorable pictures show us the elephant doing all the things kids enjoy at school (and a few they don't): 'Elephants are good at doing tricks with a ball. But...elephants are NOT good at sharing.' At the end of the day, 'he loves to see his mummy'. A very special book.
