The Smallest Elephant in the World, Hardback Book

The Smallest Elephant in the World Hardback

Illustrated by Milton Glaser

Hardback

Description

First published in 1959, The Smallest Elephant in the World, written by Alvin Tresselt and illustrated by Milton Glaser, is a witty, sweet, and funny tale of friendship and the search for home. Mocked throughout the jungles of India due to his small size, the smallest elephant in the world—no bigger than a house cat—has decided enough is enough.

After all, if he’s no bigger than a house cat, then a house must be where he belongs!

After a long journey in the hold of a ship, this smallest elephant in the world finds himself a home with a nice little boy inside.

But he must disguise himself as a cat to satisfy the boy's mother, and disaster strikes when he is confronted with his first mouse...

Little does he know that the perfect home is waiting for him, in a circus where differences are celebrated, not scorned. The Smallest Elephant in the World is a fun book about an elephant who learns to accept his unique qualities as he seeks to find a place where he fits in.

This children's book will teach kids all about belonging, friendship, and acceptance.
