AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'India the circus elephant is an absolute whiz on the mouth organ. She's the star of the show, and she knows it. But when a tough circus re-trainer, Oswaldo the Magnificent, arrives to teach everyone new tricks, India does something very BAD. Losing her place in the limelight shows India a thing or two about the pitfalls of celebrity and the value of friends. A warm, funny story from one of Australia's most gifted picture-book makers.' (Publisher's blurb)
