The Adventures of Ernie the Elephant

These are the many stories of an African Elephant born in the Kruger Park in South Africa. His ancestor was a huge Elephant with tusks so long they touched the ground; he was a legend among Elephants. The Matriarch who is his grandmother remembers him well and knows it to be true. What do Elephants eat, how do they speak to each other, and how do they find water? Ernie learns everything from his grandmother and has many adventures in the vast game park, including being drunk after finding Marula fruit. A dangerous and wily Poacher sets out to track him down and shoot him for the huge valuable tusks he carries from his head, and the huge amount of meat he would provide. You will be spellbound reading about animal life in South Africa. This book was written for boys and girls from 4 to 7 who love animals, but may be enjoyed by adults. This is the very latest version, now much larger than the original book.
