A hilarious tale of mistaken identity that celebrates being true to yourself! In this laugh-out-loud follow-up to the acclaimed I AM A TIGER, a bold and imaginative Mouse is accused of being an elephant by a gecko. Despite having a pointy nose and flappy ears, Mouse insists that they're definitely not an elephant – but could they be an owl, a sheep, a yak, or even a cow? With wit and charm, Mouse persuades the others that it's what's on the inside that truly counts. Could Mouse actually be a Moose? Featuring vibrant and characterful illustrations, I am not an Elephant introduces a delightful cast of animals for feisty Mouse to entertain and bamboozle. This comic read-aloud story delivers a heartwarming message about self-esteem and embracing one's unique qualities. Perfect for fans of funny, brightly illustrated animal tales that celebrate being true to yourself.

Karhu on karhu. Tai ehkä joku muu... Mikä se sitten on, jos karhuus unohtuu? Hämmentynyt karhu pohtii ja pähkäilee, ollako vai eikö olla karhu. Ollako kenties hirvi? Ei... Hidas ja iso voi kyllä olla, mutta mihin tarvitaan sarvekas polla? Entäs puiden oksilla hyppelevä orava? Ei... Pieni ja ketterä, nopsa ja hassu. Vaan entä jos tyhjään osuu tassu? Tuula Korolaisen suomeksi riimittelemä, hellyttävä ja hupaisa tarina saa lapset pohtimaan jokaisen erilaisuutta ja ainutlaatuisuutta. Mitä jos ei haluakaan olla se kuka on? Ja mihin omat taidot ja kyvyt riittävät? Vai onko sittenkin kaikkein parasta olla juuri oma ihana itsensä?

A bear is a bear, except when he's not. What would he be, if a bear FORGOT? Poor bear! He's all confused. Is he a bird? A moose? A fox? Or maybe even a . . . squirrel? And now winter is coming . . . perhaps Bear should curl up tight and settle down for a long, long sleep. He might remember who he is in the spring! A funny, rhyming romp about an adorably baffled bear with an identity crisis! Little ones will love joining in with repeated phrases and picking their favourite animals, whether it's a dancing fox or a cute red squirrel.
