Sooki, a small saggy baggy elephant, was taunted by other animals in the jungle about his looks. He tried many remedies but they were failures. So he decided to take himself into a cave to hide, when a very hungry lion thought that a small elephant would be just the thing. He gave out one a loud trumpet, and, all of a sudden there were very large saggy baggy elephants frightening off the lion, and, they assured him that he would be as handsome as they when he grew up. The record at the rear of the book is so that the young people who read the book can listen to the words at the same time.
