If you’re planning a holiday or a staycation, this book is an absolute must, packed as it is with invaluable if unusual advice. Of course you shouldn’t take an elephant on holiday, he’d only eat all the ice cream; but what if you’re thinking about vacationing with a cheetah, an ostrich, or an orangutan? Just don’t, says Patricia Cleveland-Peck, and she has perfectly valid reasons… Author and illustrator have a track record in creating brilliantly funny, deliciously zany picture books, delighting in exploring preposterous situations and You Can't Take an Elephant on Holiday is a wonderful addition to their series about places NOT to take an elephant. Cleveland-Peck’s rhyming text is a delight to read aloud and will have children speechless with laughter, David Tazzyman’s illustrations bringing a controlled anarchy that adds even more to the fun. Essential summer reading!
