Synopsis: Bang, boom, bam--hear the huge elephants marching across the plains. So loud and so strong, they shake the ground. BUT...then there is Tiny. He trips over his small feet. Then he stumbles over his elephant trunk. And, ALL the other BIG elephants must wait for him to catch up. His mother promises Tiny he'll grow--but how can she know? Then Buffalo, Hippo, Ostrich, Zebra, and Lion tell him a secret...And, Tiny doesn't mind being tiny anymore!
