This story is an ode to determination and candour, punctuated by a repetitive sequence that supports the character’s perseverance.

THE BOOK: Taking a leisurely stroll, the elephant looks up and sees an appetising red apple high up in a tree. Driven by greed, he leaps towards the fruit of his desire without hesitation. However, climbing trees remains a rather whimsical challenge for a pachyderm, even with all the courage and inventiveness you can muster. However, life is full of possibilities, and all it takes is a little patience and a few lucky breaks.

Themes: elephant, perseverance, humor, imagination.
