This is the first collection of children's stories that have been written and illustrated by contributing authors and illustrators.

In this book, one will meet a delightful baby elephant named Horatio who would like to attend children's tea parties but can't because of his size. One will also read about a love story between two dogs named Pork Chop and Polka Dot. Also in this book are three short stories. One is about a bell that would not ring and two are about a farmer and the love that he has for his family and animals.

"Daisy and her Aunt Maize" is a story about a farmer and his award-winning cows. In this book, one can join in the adventures of a young boy named Johnny and his airplane named Myrtle in their travels to different lands. In the last story about jungle life, one will read how a courageous white lion, a big black bear and an old duck help a baby prince return to his home.

These stories are aimed at younger audiences and can teach different values to children. They are also entertaining to audiences of all ages. In the second collection of children's stories, new characters will be introduced and one can read about new adventures with some of the same wonderful characters in this book.

Horatio told her he had one wish and that he was sad because it would not come true.

Brenda then asked him to tell her his wish.

Horatio told her that he wished that he would be invited to a tea party so that he could eat crumpets and drink tea and make friends.

Brenda explained to Horatio that all the children in the small town of Littleton have tea parties and that maybe he could attend one of them.

But then Horatio went on to explain to her that even though he was a baby elephant, he was very, very big.

He told her that he could not sit on the chairs because they were too small for him. He also explained he could not drink from the teacups because his paws were too big and they would get stuck in them.

After Brenda heard why Horatio was crying, she wanted to help make his wish come true. She thought for a moment and then she told Horatio not to cry and not to be sad.

She told him to meet her under the same tree the next day because she was going to help make his wish come true.
