Review
One day, an elephant offers a baby a ride through the town, and the set off on a great adventure. But when the elephant finds out that the bad baby has forgotten his manners, the adventure comes to an abrupt end.
This is an irresistible picture book with a naughty baby hero, and a repeated 'rumpeta trumpeta' of a chorus that children will love to join in with. Raymond Briggs' winning illustrations make this perfect for younger toddlers, whose powers of concentration are beginning to grow.

A fantastic classic story with wonderful illustrations by Raymond Briggs. My son loves bumping up and down on my knee every time we go "rumpeta, rumpeta, all down the street". A gentle way to foster politeness early on? "Yes please!"
