Humperdink Our Elephant Friend by Sean Taylor
5.0
I absolutely loved this book! It is the story of a little elephant that joins a playgroup. He is very friendly so the other children try hard to include him but despite trying really hard some of the games they play (dressing up and going on a slide) are not possible for an enormous elephant!
The children go outside so that Humperdink can teach them some of his own games. They all join in 'elephant walking' and before long they are all on a fantastic jungle adventure (climbing and swinging through trees.)
This is such a lovely story that young children can easily relate to. It is perfect for helping children to understand that although everyone is different there is always a way to include everybody.
This story would be the perfect addition to Early Years settings helping children to learn to accept/be kind to others and let everybody join in.
Humperdink is such a cute little elephant and the fantastic illustrations really bring the story to life. My son will love this book and I will definitely be purchasing a copy when this comes out in June.
