About this ebook
When the other baby animals laugh at Elephant for not being able to jump, he sets out to prove them wrong. But hard as he tries, he just can't jump. Then he realises that he is able to do something that no other animal can – his strong, long trunk can make him a hero.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Individuality is very important and should be embraced by everyone. Unfortunately, people believe everyone is capable of doing one single task. This often leaves people embarrassed, ashamed, or the feeling of incapability. The main character, the elephant, cannot jump he is ashamed and feels embarrassed. He soon realizes that he has other talents that can be beneficial to his friends. The elephant can help those in need with his trunk. Now he knows that it is okay to be different and he can succeed at tasks others may not be able to and vice versa.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5finding something he could do that WASN'T jumping was almost as good, when elephant saved the day.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Maybe not jump but he can save the day.
