Elephant Joe, brave knight, will! (With his trusty sidekick, Zebra Pete, of course.) But there's an unexpected twist in this tale. Is the damsel in distress who she seems to be? And what happens when Elephant Joe and Zebra Pete wake the dragon guarding the Dark Knight's tower? There'll be lots of jousting and heroics before it's all over in this comical adventure from British author-illustrator David Wojtowycz. And we mean comic-al! Witty asides and clever dialogue in word balloons add to the hilarity and captivating design.
DAVID WOJTOWYCZ has illustrated dozens of books for children, many of which he has also written—such as the myriad adventures of Elephant Joe and A Cuddle for Claude, which inspired an animated television series in England, where the books were originally published. One of David’s most successful books is Rumble in the Jungle, written by Giles Andreae.
