The Elephant Who Liked to Smash Small Cars

SOLD OUT

とあるロードサイドにぞうさんが住んでいました。
ぞうさんが、好きなことは、ちいさな車をこわすこと！
ぴょんっと、ジャンプ。
そして車の上に落っこちる。車がこわれるまで。

赤い車をドカン、青い車をドスン。黄色い車をペチャン。
楽しくて楽しくて、ぞうさんは歌を歌っちゃいますよ。

車をドカン♪
車をドスン♪
ぼくは車をこわすのが大好きさ！

そんなロードサイドに、たくさんの小さな車を売るお店がオープンしました。
さてさて、どうなったでしょうね。
想像するだけで笑ってしまいそう。

クレヨンでシンプルに描かれた味わい深いロニ・ソルバートさんの絵本です。

What is your favorite thing to do in the whole world? Whatever it is, odds are that you don't like doing it as much as the elephant in this book enjoys smashing small cars. He'll smash any small car that drives down his road. He smashes yellow cars, he smashes blue cars, he smashes red cars, all the while singing a special car-smashing song. Then one day a man comes to town and opens a small-car store right on the elephant's road. You can probably guess what the elephant does next, but the real fun starts when the man turns the tables on the elephant--and his plan is a smashing success.
Jean Merrill's story of gleeful destruction, revenge, and conciliation is accompanied by Ronni Solbert's colorful crayon drawings. Rarely has property damage looked so adorable.
