A shipwrecked elephant makes his tiny island a home for the many friends who come to the rescue, building increasingly intricate constructions that turn Elephant Island into a fun park city.
Caught in a storm, Arnold the elephant washes up on a tiny island. And although many animals come along to try and rescue him, each of their broken vessels provides new materials for another intricate construction. Wheels and pulleys create a Ferris wheel, an elevator, a waffle maker, and soon there is a whole community and enough space for everyone!
As with all of Leo Timmers' picture books, there are many layers of discovery here - like a building game on a page! Each new building creates a wonderfully fun park packed with mechanical details, and showcases the busy animals working together.
