AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A friend in need. A thoughtless act. A forgetful elephant.

'Jumbo Jim is riding home from school when he comes across his mate Charlie sitting on the side of the jungle track. Charlie’s needs help. His bike has a flat tyre and the chain has come loose. What’s a friend to do? Jimbo completely forgets all the cycle safety rules and lets Charlie climb on behind him. The pair go racing down the track doing wheelies, weaving in and out of cars and causing chaos along the way. Suddenly there’s an angry trumpet blast from Jimbo’s dad, who’s among a pack of giant jumbos working near the track. Jimbo tries to stop but his brakes fail. He’s heading for disaster— how will he survive?'
