ERNEST THE ELEPHANT

🇬🇧 Description:

Ernest is a happy baby elephant. But when his curiosity gets the better of him and he leaves the rest of his herd to explore the alluring and dangerous jungle, he becomes very lost indeed. Amongst the undergrowth, he meets a rude gorilla, a weary lion, an impolite hippo and an uncaring crocodile. Will anyone help Ernest find his way out of the jungle and home to his mum? From the international phenomenon, Anthony Browne, comes a heartfelt, visually stunning picture book, about finding help in unexpected places.

Reviews:

Anthony Browne's tender reworking of the Good Samaritan - about a lost baby elephant who is helped by a mouse after other creatures turn away - is part visual homage to Henri Rousseau and David McKee's Elmer, part his own trademark surrealist substitutions. - The Times & The Sunday Times 

Ernest the Elephant is a lovely story of finding help unexpectedly, listening to your parents and realising that you just might not be quite old enough yet to do some things. - Me, Him, the Dog and a Baby Blog
