Summary

Once, elephants came in two colours: black or white. Peace-loving elephants ran and hid in the deepest jungle while battle commenced. The war-mongers succeeded: for a long time it seemed that there were no elephants in the world at all, not of any colour.

Tusk Tusk Summary

Tusk Tusk by David McKee

Once, elephants came in two colours: black or white. They loved all other creatures - but each set wanted to destroy the other. Peace-loving elephants ran and hid in the deepest jungle while battle commenced. The war-mongers succeeded: for a long time it seemed that there were no elephants in the world at all, not of any colour. But then the descendants of the peace-loving ones emerged from the jungle, and by now they were all grey. 'This book was one of my favourites as a kid, I simply relished in the gloriousness of a load of elephants battling it out in a bizarre forest. It wasn't until I was a bit older that I recognised the importance of the message that lay (not so subtly) underneath.' OLIVER JEFFERS

Tusk Tusk Reviews

This book was one of my favourites as a kid, I simply relished in the gloriousness of a load of elephants battling it out in a bizarre forest. It wasn't until I was a bit older that I recognised the importance of the morality that lay (not so subtly) underneath. -- Oliver Jeffers
This simple, yet striking, book is an ideal way to introduce children to the concept of empathy, and to celebrate diversity, rather than fearing it. * Carousel *
A wonderful book for children and parents (and politicians) * Early Years Educator *
