Having a knot in your trunk if you are an elephant is not ever good news. Nellie the elephant even forgot why
she tied the knot in the first place. She knew it was to remind her of something very special that was happening that day but she just couldn’t remember what. There were clues hidden everywhere in the jungle: the monkeys are blowing up big colourful balloons, the tree top animals were putting up streamers and the hippos were baking a cake.

This book is lovely. The watercolour paints give a soft warm effect and the gentle words that are just right for the targeted audience (3 – 6 year olds I would say) give a lovely result too.
