The thingamabob

One day, he found the thingamabob. He had no idea what it was or where it came from. So begins the story of a curious elephant and a mysterious red object. But what is it?! When none of his friends can tell him, the little elephant decides to experiment. Nothing seems to work, until big drops of rain begin to fall. The little elephant does not want to get wet. Luckily, with the thingamabob (an umbrella), he does not need to get wet! With bright, adorable illustrations and a simple, playful text, this book captures the excitement of making – and sharing – an unexpected discovery.
