This is a story about an elephant that loves peppermint and cannot get enough.It is an illustrated poem. Very colorful and an activity page plus a surprise ending.
The book is for children through 7 years of age. It is a beautifully illustrated poem about a jungle elephant that goes searching and dreaming of eating peppermint. The illustrations are done in a way that gives the elephant his own personality. The book has a "color your own peppermint elephant" page that the children love. It is a whimsical and cute story. At the school and library readings I have participated in, the children are quite taken with it.
