Official synopsis Publisher
WELCOME to the big top and get ready to experience a spectacular show, hosted by our mouse emcee! Will Ellie the elephant be able to jump from a very tall ladder into a tiny glass of water? The suspense mounts as Ellie climbs up, gets nervous, can’t look down and then jumps . . . right into the glass of water.
Through the clever use of gatefold flaps, the reader will learn that what seemed “big “(Ellie) is really “little,” and what seemed “little “(our mouse host) is really “big.”
This simple story can be used on many levels – as a novelty book, as an early reader, and as a literacy tool for those who cannot read English, since the story tells itself through John Stadler’s wonderful expressive illustrations.
