The Little Lost Elephant – Stephen Alter

Description

Intrigued by a sharp shriek coming from afar, a curious little elephant wanders off in search of the strange creature going ktchee ktchee ktchee. Soon, he stumbles upon the source of the sound but finds himself separated from his herd. Now alone in the vast jungle, he must find his way back to his mother, but not before he encounters a motley crew of woodland creatures—some friends, and others foes. A family of civets sprays their scent into the air, a hungry python lurks in the bushes, and a cheeky mynah becomes his companion. Through rain and sunshine, the little elephant must remain brave as he traverses the wilderness in search of his loving family. The delightful creation of one of India’s greatest writers on wildlife and wild places, A Little Lost Elephant is a vibrantly illustrated story of friendship, togetherness, and the wondrous beauty of the natural world.
