An Elephant For Breakfast Book Review

The girls and I read so many books, a lot of the time we tend to re read books we already have but sometimes it is nice to add a new book to our collection, especially when it is from an author we haven't heard of before. We were recently sent An Elephant For Breakfast which is both written and illustrated by Zella.

Every year, at the start of the summer holidays, Uncle Cosmo sends his nieces and nephews a gigantic parcel. It comes all the way from Africa to arrive on their doorstep in London. This year it is late, and when it finally arrives it brings with it a great mystery and a terrific adventure. Uncle Cosmo is in danger, and the children must follow the clues to save him.

The book immediately caught my attention with it's bright cover. The illustration is simply drawn but both the colours and the fun writing draw you in.
