Elephant Can't Jump

Illustrated by Robert Starling

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.
