Umboo, the Elephant

Howard Roger Garis

Circus elephants tell stories after the show, and tonight it is Umboo's turn. Howard Garis, creator of Uncle Wiggily, lets the big fellow remember his jungle childhood, his mother's lessons, and the long road that led to sawdust and spangles. Chapter by chapter the herd listens in, and so will your child. Pull up a peanut and hear him out. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
