About The Book

It's time for the Big Boing Off competition and all the usual contestants, Flea, Frog, Goat and Kangaroo, are taking part. But they aren't the only ones . . . because this year Elephant is determined to be the first EVER elephant to compete. There is just one problem – elephants CAN’T jump!

But, with the help of some clever, creative and rather amusing ideas from her friends – including a space hopper, a pogo stick and even a catapult – perhaps Elephant can find a way to go BOING after all . . .

A laugh-out-loud picture book about teamwork, perseverance, dreaming BIG and making the impossible possible, with gloriously zingy illustrations.
