So beautiful, magical, and joyous a sight
From the realm of the fays, across the sea
Watch as they play in the hollow of a tree
They keep many fields and meadows alive
By helping wild herbs and flowers survive

Magnificent and free with a barnacle on her tail

An Elephant's Advice


Tun Tun is a baby elephant
Carefree, healthy and very intelligent
Jumbo is his strong, brave father
And Ayo his wise, beautiful mother



At six happy years and a half
Tun Tun is a forest elephant calf
That’s what elephant babies are called
And he’s already more than a metre tall



In the past century alone, 90% of African elephants have been wiped out - mainly for their ivory.  During the past decade, growing demand for ivory has led to a dramatic increase in illegal elephant poaching in several parts of Africa.


It is estimated that a staggering 20,000 African elephants are killed each year  - approximately 55 every day. 


Elephants, including African forest elephants like Tun Tun, are under threat. Learn about his life, the danger he faces, and the brave people helping him to survive in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story for ages 4+.
