Book
Elephant Island / Leo Timmers ; English text by James Brown.
Caught in a storm, Elephant washes up on a tiny island. Along comes Mouse in a little dingy and Elephant steps aboard . . . uh-oh! They use the wreckage to make the island bigger. And here's Dog--can this boat take Elephant's weight? Uh-oh! None of the animals can save the shipwrecked Elephant but each broken vessel provides new materials for another intricate construction. Wheels and pulleys create a Ferris wheel, an elevator, a waffle maker. Soon there is a whole community and enough space for everyone! As in any Leo Timmers picture book, Elephant's Island has many layers of discovery. Each new building is a magical fun park packed with mechanical detail and busy animals all working together.
