About this book
In this retelling of Rudyard Kipling's classic origin story, a curious young elephant asks a nearby crocodile what it has for dinner. The playful question leads the elephant to get too close, and when the crocodile snaps at his nose, it stretches into the long trunk we see on elephants today. The tale illustrates how a single act of curiosity can change an animal forever.
