Shortlisted for the Greenaway Award 2007.
This is an absolutely delightful comic tale of a rather cheeky phantom elephant who is driving a little girl completely wild with his exploits. Full of hilarity, action and adventure until she discovers what he’s frightened of. Simply but brilliantly told coupled with some stunning illustrations. (0-5)
Judges' comment:
A very imaginative book of real charm and freshness, rampant with pearly elephants on parade, and beautifully drawn humans. It has a lovely 1980s disco feel, complete with a whiff of Art Nouveau. The illustrations convey a wonderful sense of movement, size and scale and there is so much detail here: every single inch of the page is covered. The inter-generational teamwork conveyed is great, and there are lots of in-jokes to enjoy.
