I am not an Elephant

This laugh-out-loud story is about a bold and imaginative Mouse who is accused of being an elephant by a gecko.

Despite having a pointy nose and flappy ears, Mouse is definitely not an elephant – but could Mouse be an owl, a sheep, a yak, or a cow? Mouse persuades the others that it's what is on the inside that counts - and maybe Mouse is actually a Moose?

With vibrant and characterful illustrations this hilarious follow on to the acclaimed I am a Tiger introduces a new range of animals for the feisty Mouse to bamboozle.
