Owning an elephant is terrific, but what happens when he gets lonely and invites a friend over? Fun and silliness abound in this buoyant counting book.

"Crisp, rhyming text and warm, appealing illustrations will make this counting book a favorite with the very young." ―Kirkus Reviews

Every time a busy little girl goes out―to school or to the movies or to the mall―her elephant friend gets lonely.

So he invites more elephants over and they all join the little girl in fun activities, from swimming in the local pool to dancing in her ballet class! However, as the number of elephants increases, so do their antics, and the resourceful heroine finally has to find her companions a new home where she can visit them...and make a few new friends, too.

Young readers will be amused by the exuberant characters and mounting silliness in Anne Ginkel's unique counting tale. Illustrator Janie Bynum's brightly colored illustrations and affectionately drawn, expressive characters capture the story's good-natured fun.
