It must be tough to be an elephant and have a huge appetite. Elephant runs the local grocery store. People buy stuff from her, but she eats so much that she eats up the profits. She tries to have sales to encourage people to buy more stuff, but she doesn’t know how to do that. She sells 1 banana and people get 2 free. Not a great business model. The town comes together and helps Elephant advertise and people come shopping. All hail capitalism.
Elephant is sweet and she just needs more food than most, that’s how it goes.
The nephew thought this was kinda silly, but he liked seeing Fish fly flyers out of an airplane. He gave this 3 stars. The niece felt about the same. She gave this one 3 stars. I love the series so I still gave it 4 stars as it’s such quirky fun. We have fun reading these together in the summer. It’s our thing.

A book ahead of its time - introduces the concept of buying locally to help your neighborhood, and the hazards of running your own small business.

My favorite sweet pickles book when I was about 5. Such a timeless collection for very young kids. Adorable pictures and nice lessons to learn about sharing, saving money, etc.
