Gus's workshop is chockful of useless odds and ends. But when his friend Rico comes over with a problem - his scooter seat is way too small for a rhino - Gus finds just the thing to solve it. He creates a fabulous new vehicular contraption with an old lounge chair! One by one Gus's friends bring him their vehicles and Gus solves their troubles with ingenious solutions - a cooling system made with a fridge that doubles as an ice-cream machine, a burst of speed from a rocket blaster. Soon the workshop is almost empty, but the last scraps might be just enough to solve Gus's own problem at the end of a long day

As in any Leo Timmers picture book, Elephant Island has many layers of discovery. Each new building is a magical fun park packed with mechanical detail and busy animals all working together.
