When Mommy offers to help pack his clothes, Little Elephant is determined to do it alone and ends up choosing only toys and a colouring book. His independence continues at the beach, where Mommy advises him to put on sunscreen, but he insists he doesn't need it and ends up with a bad sunburn.
Will Little Elephant realise that it's okay to be a big kid while still following directions? Find out in this charming tale that teaches an important lesson about listening and learning.
