Too Many Elephants in this House

written by Ursula Dubosarsky

Penguin Random House Australia 2012

In Eric's house there were too many elephants — in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, even in his bedroom!

The elephants take up a lot of space, but Eric loves every one of them. So when his mum says they have to go, Eric comes up with a clever solution to a very BIG problem . . .

A delightfully energetic story, full of fun, exuberance and elephants

The illustrations in this book are an absolute joy. ABSOLUTE JOY.

Dubosarsky’s penchant for childlike fun shines through in this adorable book, with Andrew Joyner’s timeless and joy-filled illustrations taking her text to even greater heights. With a deliciously retro feel, this is imaginative, childhood magic at its best.
