What is The grumpy elephant about?

Meet a very grumpy elephant who stomps, snorts and refuses to join in with the other animals. Nothing seems to cheer him up, and his bad temper soon leaves him feeling lonely. But when an unexpected moment brings a little fun and kindness, the elephant begins to see things differently. With simple language, large text and lively animal characters, this gentle story follows one elephant’s journey from cross and gloomy to happier and more sociable.
