Synopsis
This energetic book takes young readers on a journey with a very curious baby elephant who has one question on his mind: What do crocodiles eat for dinner? But whenever he asks this question, he gets a spanking! Though he’s never seen a crocodile before, the baby elephant sets out to the banks of a river to find the answer to his question. Geoffrey Patterson has simplified the original text for a younger audience without losing any of Kipling’s much-loved turns of phrase. Elegant and whimsical illustrations give a fresh, vibrant look to this classic story.

In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He only had a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldn’t pick up things with it.
But there was one Elephant – a new Elephant – an Elephant’s Child – who was full of ’satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions.
