Ages 4 to 6 years

Alexander the Elephant is a picture book for 4-6 year-olds by successful Australian rock musician/writer Pat Davern and award-winning illustrator/writer Martin Chatterton. Alexander is a somewhat nervous, red-ant sandwich-munching, pink and purple-spotted elephant who lives on the island of Zanzibar with his best friend Miss Alicia Peabody, Alicia’s Clever Uncle Gerald and Pedro the parrot. When dastardly loggers threaten The Great Tree of Zanzibar, Miss Alicia Peabody and Uncle Gerald help Alexander find the courage to stand up and be counted.
