Back in 2006 I went to New Orleans with a group to help rebuild people's homes that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. I was told by one of the residents that the elephants at the zoo were used to help clear trees that had fallen in the roads. I was touched by this story as it showed how much we as humans need animals in our lives. And they in turn need our respect and care b/c they are really no different than us opposable thumbed primates.

I love the illustration and the story. When I was little I had an elephant (a stuffed one) that had exactly the form your blue little elephant has. It was one of the items I considered vital until the age of six. Vital with capital letters.
Awww beautiful, the animals are our friends! we need to care them
