Elephant Wellyphant Award-winning by Nick Sharratt (author)

You might think there’s just one kind of elephant – big, grey and blobby. But in this book you’ll find all sorts of exotic elephants, from the polka-dot umbrellaphant to the glamorous Cindarellaphant! Pull the tabs and lift the flaps to see! This book of delightfully silly wordplay has heaps of interactive parts to manoeuvre; lifting flaps, pulleys, and even an arrow to spin. Printed on strong, tear-resistant paper, it’s perfect for getting youngsters used to handling books – and thinking about words and meanings too. So get pulling, get lifting, get tweaking. There’s an elephant for everyone in this comic masterpiece!

Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.

He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin’s School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick’s books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.

He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.
