Elsie is still only a young elephant, but decides  she should start looking for a job. But what could the perfect job for her be?

She could be a chef and cook yummy treats, or she could be a musician and join the parakeet band! After trying lots of jobs from being a musician to an artist, Elsie begins to give up hope. They’ve all ended in disaster!

But when an emergency breaks out at the Snack Shack, Elsie’s perfect job is found – a firefighter!

 

Part of the series  Storytime.  Beautifully illustrated, QED Storytime introduces young children to the pleasures of reading and sharing stories. Discussion points for parents and teachers are also  included.
