The Third Elephant by Penny Dolan
Follow the trail of a small wooden elephant in this fairy tale full of hope and wonder, designed for readers gaining in confidence. A small wooden elephant is gathering dust in an old house, dreaming of a beautiful white palace, when he's flung into an adventure and finds himself helping three children: Sara, a shy young musician, Nita, who has something to prove, and Jack, who's angry with his mum's new boyfriend... Leaving happiness in his wake – and making several small, whiskery friends along the way – the elephant goes on a magical journey across India, and finally fulfils his dream of seeing the Taj Mahal.
