Say hello to Snuffle – as the book begins – a baby elephant as cute as a button, who chances upon an egg. Like every little one who knows that an egg must be handled carefully, if not at all, Snuffle tries his best but ends up, inadvertently, dropping the egg. That’s okay because the egg was ready to hatch anyway. The story ends delightfully.

The illustrator has captured the antics of little ones perfectly especially the part where Snuffle starts to run away when he drops the egg.

I would love to see Snuffle as a television series.

Excerpt

Snuffle picks up the egg very carefully.

He tries moving it around.

He balances it on the end of his trunk …


He blows it gently up in the air.
