The Gradual Elephant

Meer over het boek

Mpole is a 12 year old African elephant who has been forced to leave the Herd. He must now prove himself by passing The Seven Tests (Mitihani Saba) so that he can become Accepted as a young male. Mpole's problem, however, is that he does things gradually...and that includes thinking. How can he possibly succeed? With the help of Sheena, perhaps - the clever (and cheeky) little black and white cat who has sneaked back to Baragandiri National Park with the Allen family on their second safari there. But a test much bigger the Mitihani Saba awaits them...
