    Elephant Wellyphant

    By Nick Sharratt

    Published by Scholastic

    Most youngsters would recognise a big, grey, wrinkly elephant, but what about a green and red, spotty Unwelliphant or a clairvoyant Gypsy Fortune-Tellerphant?

    A Chocolate Caramelephant is wrapped in red, shiny paper and looks delicious but you really don't want to know what the Rude Smellyphant is doing!

    In this colourful and robust interactive novelty book, Nick Sharratt explores the wonderful world of fantasy elephants with the help of a little paper engineering.

    Full of humour and ingenuity, the bold, fun and expressive illustrations and rhyming text will charm adults and youngsters alike.
