Elephant's Secret

The Elephant's Secret Tales from the Marula Tree

Deep in the African savanna, where animals still spoke as people do, Kalulu the Rabbit and Njobvu the Elephant were the best of friends.

When food grows scarce, the two friends go to work in the chief's fields, earning themselves a pot of delicious beans for supper. But every evening, just as the beans are ready, something strange happens. Njobvu slips away to bathe in the river - and every time he does, the beans vanish without a trace.

Could it be the mysterious creature lurking in the tall grass? Or does Njobvu the Elephant know more than he is letting on?

Clever little Kalulu is small - but he is no fool. And he has a plan.

The Elephant's Secret is a warm, humorous and beautifully illustrated African folktale about friendship, honesty and the quiet cleverness of those who are underestimated. Based on a traditional tale from the heart of Africa, it carries a timeless message that will resonate with children and parents alike.

However clever the trick, however fierce the disguise - truth will always step out of the grass at last.

Perfect for children aged 4 to 8 and ideal for reading aloud.
