Eve and Elly (PB)

Author(s): Mike Dumbleton

New Children's Picture Books

"Elly is Eve's toy elephant, but he's also her best friend. When Elly goes missing, Eve is the one who is lost. When Eve loses her faithful companion, a stuffed elephant called Elly, she's terribly sad. Eve's father will do anything to cheer his little girl up, so he tells Eve what adventures her toy has been up to. Dad's tall tale turns little Elly into a towering hero. But if Eve has seen through the story, she's not going to let on. She loves her silly dad just as much as she loves Elly."
