Elephant's Makeover (Hardcover)

Regular price: £17.99
Sale price: £17.99

Written by Rukhsana Khan, Elephant's Makeover shares a surprising similarity to her highly acclaimed book, Big Red Lollipop.

Elephant wants to make friends.

When she overhears some animals talking about her, she internalizes their comments and decides to do something about it.

She will swap her offending body parts for prettier ones!

She takes Owl’s beautiful eyes, Wasp’s tiny waist, Mole’s star-shaped nose, Mouse’s dainty ears, and Cat’s long graceful limbs and TA DA! She thinks she’s gorgeous.

But when she hears them grumbling about her she wonders what to do.

Can she make it up to them? Will they finally be her friends?

Or…has she overlooked a better possibility for a friendship, all along?

Ages 3+, Hardcover, 40 pages

Wish I could return it

There are definitely more positive and beautiful ways to talk about bullying and body image! I bought nearly all the books from this store and I love some more than others but I really think this book it's overpriced for its context and also the images and the story are very disturbing. Elephant hears someone talk about her body, so she goes and takes body parts of those creatures to make herself look beautiful?? Elephant got serious mental problems. Wish I could return this book or get something else instead, as I won't be reading it again to my children. Don't recommend at all, nevermind for ages 3+.

Unique and Quirky

My son couldn't stop laughing at this story, especially when the elephant had all the different animal body parts. I think it's such a fun way to talk about an issue that's very serious: bullying and body image.

How can i get this book

I like main theme of this book. Wanted to know is it available in Pakistan. How can we get it in Pakistan.

If I change my look, will they like me?

I read the story to my classes and every day they ask me to read it again. They enjoyed it very much while laughing. The story has many moral lesson like :.
Be happy the way you were created.
You don't have to please others by doing something wrong.
Self confidence and chose your friend correctly.
