Monkey and Elephant Go Gadding

"These pals are reminiscent of other endearing friendship pairs such as Frog and Toad and Elephant and Piggie." - School Library Journal

Monkey and Elephant are very good friends, very good friends with nothing on the agenda. So they decide to go gadding. "Gadding," Monkey explains, "is walking along, looking around, finding something fun, stopping awhile, then moving on." Beginning readers will love the antics in this cheerful ode to friendship, family, and the joys of serendipity.
