This album tells the surprising story of a baby elephant in search of friends who finally finds an ideal companion in a mouse. As the other species do not seem to share his taste for rolling in the dirt and playing in the water, but his grandfather has made him dream of climbing a mountain, the baby elephant sets out to overcome this challenge. Believing himself too fat to achieve it after a first failure, he goes on a diet and loses weight. Weakened, he still can't do it. Then, he eats a whole tree and falls asleep. A mouse, mistaking him for a mountain, climbs on his back and finally falls off when he wakes up. Together, they can share their disappointment at having fallen and their common perspective on this failure. The book is illustrated with beautiful watercolors that humorously depict this unique story of boredom, searching, and shared failures.
