Elz and Kurty's First Splash

Elz is a tiny baby elephant who has never met an animal quite like Kurty, a wise old sea turtle who's seen a lot of the world. When the two meet at a forest swimming hole, an unlikely friendship begins.

Kurty invites Elz to swim. Elz hesitates. He's never swum before. But with Kurty's steady encouragement, Elz climbs onto his new friend's shell, and together they splash, swim, and share an underwater adventure before resting side by side on the shore.

A gentle story about trying something new, and the friends who help us feel brave enough to do it.

By Debra Hopkins. Includes bonus activities: a maze, seek-and-find, design-a-shell-for-Kurty, a knock-knock joke page, and coloring pages.
