India: The Showstopper
Author(s): Kerry Argent
India the elephant has always been the star of the show. But when tough circus re-trainer Oswaldo tries to teach her new tricks, everything starts to go wrong. From one of Australia's most gifted picture-book makers comes a story to enjoy over and over again. 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. It is a warm, funny story from one of Australia's most gifted picture-book makers.
