This was real fun! Twins who have powers (shapeshifting and talking to animals) accompany their dad on an amazing adventure to India to document elephants migrating, but when they get there, a calf is lost! It’s up to the twins to help it out. This really made me smile and I love the illustrations. This would be a brilliant read aloud or class book for Y2/Y3.
