Age range 3 to 6

Elephant has an exceptionally long trunk, and Hippopotamus never tires of telling him that "That's not normal!".

A laugh-out-loud story about differences, acceptance, kindness, and friendship.

A White Ravens selection.

Whether helping an old monkey climb a tree or keeping Giraffe's neck warm on a cold day, Elephant is always ready to lend a hand, or rather a trunk... an exceptionally long trunk!

An uplifting, fun story about individuality, self-acceptance, and being yourself.

"A good anti-bullying story." This Kid Reviews Books

"Well-plotted, beautifully illustrated with a beautiful message about embracing our differences. That's Not Normal has a lesson that every person, young or not-so-young, needs to constantly hear to be happy in our everyday life." Midwest Book Review

"Elephant is blue, animals move on two legs and talk to one another, and Zebra has removable stripes - all of which underlines the text's implied messages that normality is highly relative and it is not a good idea to ridicule those who are different." Booklist
