Elephant on the Loose ANNOTATION
Little Bill can not find his pet hamster, Elephant, and the whole family comes in to help.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Hello, friend."
Children love to learn and are always figuring things out about themselves and the world around them. And the more they know, the better equipped they are to handle the challenges of growing up.
Little Bill encourages children to value their family and friends, to feel good about themselves, and to learn to solve problems creatively.
I hope young readers will see Little Bill as their friend and enjoy his real-life adventures.
Happy reading!
