What is your favorite thing to do in the whole world? Whatever it is,
odds are that you don't like doing it as much as the elephant in this
book enjoys smashing small cars. He'll smash any small car that drives
down his road. He smashes yellow cars, he smashes blue cars, he smashes
red cars, all the while singing a special car-smashing song. Then one
day a man comes to town and opens a small-car store right on the
elephant's road. You can probably guess what the elephant does next, but
the real fun starts when the man turns the tables on the elephant--and
his plan is a smashing success.
Jean Merrill's story of gleeful destruction, revenge, and conciliation
is accompanied by Ronni Solbert's colorful crayon drawings. Rarely has
property damage looked so adorable.
