Sassi is a young African elephant who lives in a zoo. She loves the zoo with all the children who come to play, the good food, and the Indian elephant who tells her stories. There's just one thing she longs for: a big muddy pond like the one in Africa she played in. Her efforts to get it produce startling results, 26 witty full-color paintings show the big city zoo.

From the Publisher
Children are fascinated by zoos, so we knew they'd like a story set in one. We also like the way this beautiful picture book makes its story fun and, along the way, teaches some interesting lessons. Both the author and the illustrator bring the zoo and its inhabitants to life.
