Description: THE ELEGANT ELEPHANT written by RUSSELL McCRACKEN illustrated by SUSANNE SUBA Little Eddie Elephant longs to be in the circus. His mother tells him that to do that he needs to be elegant. He has several envious encounters with other animals until he realizes that he is fine as he is. An odd feature of the art / story is that the interiors are human-style houses and the exteriors are "jungle". This book was bought used, but is in good condition.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and not on distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference. Thanks for looking!
