The elephant was not like other elephants. Instead of splashing water with his trunk he wanted to sit in chairs, ride bicycles, and sail in boats. The only problem was he was an elephant and could not fit. That is until he saw a boy on a bicycle leaving behind a tremendous trail of dust. The Birthday Elephant is the third picture book from Walter Williams, author of The Bicycle Garden and A Monster for Tea. Ages 3-8, Hardcover, Color, 38 pages
