Little Elephants Christmas - Childrens Book

Little Elephant’s Christmas is a faithful reproduction of the original 1944 edition, written by Heluiz Washburne and Illustrated by Jean McConnell.

Little Elephant is the very entertaining story of a young elephant and his anticipation and adventures one Christmas day. The illustrations are stylishly vintage and funny, capturing this elephant family and their holiday perfectly.

We follow Little Elephant’s story beginning a few days before Christmas. Little Elephant carefully chooses gifts for his family, watches with great excitement and mounting anticipation as the mailman delivers packages to their house, makes a Christmas cake with his mother, helps pick out and decorate the tree and of course, hangs his stocking on the fireplace before bed on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning at last arrives and with a trumpet blast of joy (familiar to all parents on Christmas morning, trunk or not) to wake his parents up very early for the big day. Presents are opened, toys are played with and enjoyed, taffy is pulled in the kitchen and Christmas dinner is even more wonderful than could have been hoped for. This is a story children will want to read year after year in preparation for the good things of the holiday season.
