There's a great children's toy store in Peddler's Village that also has a wonderful collection of books. Recently we were browsing there and discovered this book. Charlotte and I read it on the spot and when the story included the elephant getting smashed (don't worry, he's ok) I knew it had to have been published years ago. They just don't write children's books like this anymore!
The elephant's face and pure glee at smashing cars cracked us up. We had to bring it home so I could read it to Chris. Even he said, "What?!" at the story.
The Elephant Who Liked to Smash Small Cars
