How the Elephant Got His Trunk

A tale from the best-selling African Fable Series, the short-nosed Elephants go down to the river to get a drink. But lurking in the depths is a crafty crocodile, who would love to eat one of these big animals. He chooses a young elephant and grabs a hold of his stubby nose. A lengthy struggle ensues. Eventually the young elephant breaks free, but his nose has taken on a long, windy shape. This charming traditional African Fable has been playfully retold for children from the ages of 2 to 7 years old.
