Bigaloo the Singing Elephant

About the Book

The book is about a young elephant who loves to sing. It is written in such a way that the reader can ‘put-on’ the voices of the characters and can pretend to be frightened, happy, worried or exultant. Through such reading a love of stories can be developed in children and the vital foundation stones of their education can be laid. As children become confident and begin to mimic the reader, so their love of reading is developed. Best of all, this happenes in a caring, happy, loving atmosphere. The book is designed to be ‘scrumptious’. Reading should be fun!
