  • Tusk Tusk

    David McKee

    eBook (Andersen Digital, Aug. 9, 2018)
    Once, elephants came in two colours: black or white. They loved all other creatures - but each set wanted to destroy the other. Peace-loving elephants ran and hid in the deepest jungle while battle commenced. The war-mongers succeeded: for a long time it seemed that there were no elephants in the world at all, not of any colour. But then the descendants of the peace-loving ones emerged from the jungle, and by now they were all grey.โ€˜This book was one of my favourites as a kid, I simply relished in the gloriousness of a load of elephants battling it out in a bizarre forest. It wasnโ€™t until I was a bit older that I recognised the importance of the message that lay (not so subtly) underneath.โ€™ OLIVER JEFFERS
