One Little Elephant And Her Friends

National bestseller — Based on the classic folk song made famous by a beloved trio of children's entertainers, this board book is best sung aloud! "Skinnamarink" is a timeless anthem of love and inclusion. What does "skinnamarink" mean? You may not find its definition in a dictionary, but the meaning is clear to the generations of children who sang along: friendship, happiness, sharing, community and, ultimately, love. This song has been sung in weddings and in classrooms. It can be fun and silly — especially with the accompanying actions! And it has a way of bringing people together. Through Qin Leng's wonderfully imaginative illustrations, this delightful board book tells the story of a community coming together. Young and old, from little mice to a big elephant, people and animals gather into a spontaneous parade as they follow the sound of music. Sharon, Lois and Bram formed as a trio of children's entertainers in Toronto in 1978 and went on to create two top-rated children's television shows, most notably The Elephant Show, and to release 21 full-length albums (many of which reached gold, platinum, double platinum and triple platinum). In 2018, Sharon and Bram celebrated their 40th anniversary and they continue to entertain children and share their message of love.

Little Elephant finally makes some friends, but he has trouble playing with them because of his size.

You can't take an elephant on the bus ... It would simply cause a terrible fuss! Elephants' bottoms are heavy and fat and would certainly squash the seats quite flat. Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don't even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike ... This riotous picture book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. A real romp of a book, with hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations.

Welcome to Ludwigs Adventures! Since my two daughters heard the stories from Ludwig the elephant, Norbert the rhino and their friends every night in form of a freely told bedtime story, both pachyderms have almost become an integral part of our family. And because these two always took good care not only as "protection animals" in the nocturnal dream adventures of our daughters, but also as good examples of exemplary behaviour and almost always went with best by example, the binding with them grew further. This also drove strange flowers when for example our Great (when she had just turned 3), with full conviction stated that she now no longer needs her pacifiers because her friend Ludwig indeed needed no pacifier, too. The story of how it came about this, perhaps give room for another book. Well, because the relationship with the two grew stronger, the thought of one of their stories just grew until it was times to start painting. This is how it came to this first book of Ludwig. What is it about? The book deals with the epic tales of Ludwig and his pals, about a small elephant named Ludwig and about a small part of his large circle of friends such as "Nuhir" - the jumpy mouse and "Huhu" - the anxious owl. In this story, Ludwig helps Nuhir and Huhu to identify their fears and to finally defeat them. Once on a night around the campfire the owl Huhu , frightened by a thunderstorm disappeared. Ludwig and Nuhir on the search for her, meet a wide variety of "threats" and "fears", which all turn out to be unfounded and help the two to find her friend Huhu in the end. A creepy snake turns out to be just as helpful as friendly same as a scary big spider or the wild horde of monkeys. At the end of the story all these primal fears help the two to find Huhu in an exciting, adventurous way. During this adventure, many different friends are following our heroes Nuhir, Huhu and Ludwig through each page. From "Schulz" the colourful butterfly to "Frohdo" the frog or "Fridolin" the tiny spider over many more that are hidden on each side. By searching for these hidden animals throughout each page, the younger readers also have even more fun with this book. For whom? First of all this book was done for my daughters Alina and Milla! Then we thought that our sponsored children probably would also be happy to get a customized version. Well, and since their feedback was quite positive, we gave first copies into our circle of close friends. When finally nothing but good feedback was given (even from the "critical" circle of friends), the book was also published online. The initially publication as e-book in the popular app stores did then lead to a search for a potential publisher.Fridolins BruderHowever, the target group remains the same: Basically it is children aged 2-8 years who enjoy being read interesting and funny stories or just like to look at pretty pictures. Searching for hidden small animals within each page is given and thus makes the book even interesting for younger ages. While our big one (5 years) listens to the rhymes and overall story, our little one (3 years) is searching for hiding places of spider "Fridolin", fast snail "Sebastian" or "Schulz" the butterfly. So both girls are somehow caught within the book. For the target group of English-speaking children here is the english version. By whom? Basically, we can describe this book best as a joint family project. After the story was largely determined by the interests and wishes of our two daughters, the first sketches and drafts, as well as the rough storyline was created by Papa "uTZFu". After this, the technical language skills of my wife made a beautiful rhyming story out of it, and after the rough layout and format was defined, uTZFu started painting. The entire book was made on a Tablet Notebook and one (sometimes two) finger(s), and was converted in connection with the simplest of means.
