Elena is eager to put up her tent–but is there something she’s missing in her hurry? Juana Medina brings back the plucky elephant and her little sidekick with a comedic flair sure to delight beginning readers.
The big box has arrived, and Elena is so excited! Tent parts fly everywhere as she empties the contents and dives right in. This job will be done in no time! GA-BUNK! Oops! Elena forgot the poles! Now it’s under control . . . GA-BAM! A little tug here might help . . . GA-BOING! Now Elena is stomping mad! What’s that her bird buddy’s saying? Something about that folded paper that came with the tent? In a charmingly comic follow-up to Elena Rides, also available in a dual English-Spanish edition, the determined elephant shows young fans that some things are hard–and some tents cow the best of campers–but with patience you can conquer them, if you slow down and try, try again.
