Humphrey has simply got to be the sweetest, cutest elephant anyone is ever likely to come across. In this lovely picture book, which tells the story of the little elephant as he goes in search of the perfect place to play, he goes through the house with his favourite toy, Mop, tucked firmly under his arm, and soon discovers that there really aren't that many places that fit the bill... A charming, nostalgic picture book that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, Humphrey's Corner is a beautiful little book that will charm children and adults alike with its heartwarming story and glowing illustrations. (Age 2 and over) -- Susan Harrison
