Elephant Dance

by Sue Whiting, Nina Rycroft (Illustrator)

Hugo and Millie were the best of mates.
They did everything together.
Then one day a funky beat came
drifting in on the breeze.

Hugo’s hips began to sway.
His mind jiggled.
And soon Hugo wanted
to do nothing but …
DANCE!

A nice story about an elephant who likes to dance.

3 stars.

Ohh this was pretty cute. I LOVED the colours that were used in the illustrations. It's a good story about how two best friends can have a fight, but when it really counts, they will be there for each other.

So sweet.
