Mocked throughout the jungles of India, the smallest elephant in the world—no bigger than a house cat—has decided enough is enough.

If he’s no bigger than a house cat, then a house is where he belongs! After a long journey, this smallest elephant in the world finds himself a home with a nice little boy inside. Unfortunately, the boy’s mother doesn’t believe elephants make suitable house pets… First published in 1959, The Smallest Elephant in the World is a witty, sweet tale of friendship, unlikely disguise, and the search of a home.
