"All the animals want to play hide-and-seek, but -- 'oh, no!' -- Elephant isn't very good at that. He's too easy to find. What about leap-frog? He's not good at that, either. What about hopscotch, skipping, or tag? No, no, and no. Poor Elephant isn't very good at many games, and the animals are starting to get frustrated with him. Luckily there is one game Elephant loves to play, and the animals oblige him, though they may have to say 'oh, no!' themselves when he wants to play again."--Page 2 of book jacket.
