Persnickety Elephant has an itch - a big one - and he cant reach it! While he isnt above asking for a little help, no one is up to the task. Turtle is too lazy, Snail is too slimy, and Alligator well, Elephant isnt sure he wants his assistance. Does Elephant have to do everything himself? Jory Johns signature deadpan humour pairs perfectly with Liz Climos oh-so-innocent-looking animals to create a slyly ironic read-aloud that will leave kids and parents in stitches.
