Pachyderms in Limerick

Author: Robert Baker
Illustrator: James Baker

This delightful look at the wonderful world of the elephant is bound to put a smile on everyone's face!

This is THE quirky fun/gift book of 2007. Top Disney animator James Baker and his father Robert, a NSW academic, have combined to produce a book to make us all laugh and smile.

Real news stories about elephant life, gathered from all around the world, have been illustrated – some even given a limerick – with glorious full-colour illustrations that enhance the text throughout to create a truly memorable package.

So, if you want to find out how elephants behave when they're in love or whether their artwork is receiving critical acclaim, then Elephants in the News is the book for you.
