About this ebook
From the bestselling author of I Didn't Do My Homework Because... comes an irresistible meditation on the quest for connection. When an elephant falls in love, he does many foolish things. He hides when the elephant-object of his affection is around. He writes dozens of letters that he will never send. And he tries to be healthy, but ends up finishing the cheesecake. This soulful book is at once relatable and revealing, a reminder that love is worth striving for, and that the very best things in life will come to those who wait.

23 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really liked this! Very cute, lovely art and sweet message!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is a lovely love story as it is a bit cheesy in a way
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5"When an elephant falls in love, he does many foolish things." So begins the narrative of this charming little picture-book, which chronicles its elephant-hero's many besotted actions, from hiding behind trees when his beloved appears, to leaving flowers on her doorstep. Will she ever notice him, he wonders? Then she proves that she too can do foolish things...Originally published in Italy as Quando un elefante si innamora, this delightful picture-book contains the third story I have read from author Davide Cali, but the first I have seen from illustrator Alice Lotti. It manages to be both humorous and heartwarming, with a simple but expressive text, and droll illustrations that capture the humor of the story. Recommended to all young elephant admirers, and to anyone who has ever fallen in love.
