The Elephant and the Bad Baby - Thryft

Mischievous baby learns manners on elephant ride.

If you've ever giggled at the antics of a misbehaving tot or enjoyed the rhythm of rollicking repetition in a story, "The Elephant and the Bad Baby" is a perfect pick for you. Its charming blend of mayhem and moral—one should always say 'please'—packaged in vibrant illustrations, makes it a heartwarming read for both children and adults. Plus, it’s infused with the nostalgia of Raymond Briggs' distinct artwork that has delighted generations.

Description

The Elephant and the Bad Baby is the classic story from Elfrida Vipont and Raymond Briggs. The Elephant takes the Bad Baby for a ride and they go 'rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta down the road.' They help themselves to ice creams, pies, buns, crisps, biscuits, lollipops and apples, and the shopkeepers follow them down the road shouting and waving. All ends well as the Bad Baby learns to say 'Please' and his mother makes pancakes for everyone. Elfrida Vipont worked as a teacher, singer and writer. She wrote over 30 books and won the Carnegie Medal in 1950 for Lark on the Wing. Raymond Briggs has produced wonderful children's books including the classic titles The Snowman, Father Christmas and When the Wind Blows - all made into immensely successful films. Raymond lives in Sussex.
