"When Humperdink the baby elephant joins the childrens playgroup, he seems friendly enough, but it soon becomes clear that hes not very good at the usual games the children play, like dressing up or hide-and-seek. When he breaks the childrens favorite slide, everyone feels sad. But with a little patience and understanding the children soon discover that Humperdink is good at some things-- especially if they use their imaginations-- leading to a riotously fun conclusion. A delightful picture book with endearing artwork and a humorous story to engage young readers and help them gain an understanding about those different from themselves. This title helps children learn the key skill of playing with and accepting new friends, whatever their size, shape... or species! Exploring themes of empathy and imaginative play, this title is a must-have for young readers seeking to understand the world around them"--Provided by publisher.
