Elephant that ate the Night, The

Funny picture for children aged 3-5 who don't like the dark by prizewinning author and illustrator All the baby animals in the Dark Mushroom Forest are scared of the dark night. Duoduo the little bear cub clings to mummy bear, Taotao the baby monkey cries and Zhazha the little porcupine rolls into a ball. They are afraid that the darkness might swallow them up. Then along comes Awu the Elephant— an elephant who doesn't eat leaves or grass or bananas but only dark nights. Awu - who’s always on the lookout for some darkness with his name on it - swallows up the night in the Dark Mushroom Forest.
