A little elephant and his mother share an unforgettable day€s journey in this touching and gorgeously illustrated tale set in India.
The sun is not yet up when a small elephant named Raju embarks with his mother on a special outing. As they meet a slithering snake in the forest, snapping crocodiles in the river, even a tiger in the tall grass, Raju€s mother shoos the scary creatures away and keeps her little one safe. Holding tight to his mother€s tail, Raju follows her up a high mountain€"and what they find at the top takes his breath away. Timothy Knapman€s story of trust and tenderness between mother and baby is beautifully matched by Patrick Benson€s expressive and atmospheric illustrations.
