There is pandemonium in the jungle! A strange roaring sounds sends the animals stampeding, convinced it's a monster. But all is not as it seems. Only Elmer is brave enough to investigate, and what he discovers comes as quite a surprise! 'A deserved favourite with the 2-5s.' Sunday Times

Elijah thought it was funny that the monster was just as scared of the other animals as the animals were of it.

It is a very good story. Although it s a bit scary it teaches not to believe without seeing anything and also courage to explore things.
