Fabulous fable

So, what can a turtle do when an arrogant, self-absorbed elephant steps on him "for the three hundred and thirty-second time?" The answer is: a lot. Our hard-shelled hero uses his head to show that brain power outshines brawn. This is a fun and beautifully illustrated fable that can teach all of us something about compassion and being sure to think about the needs of others.
