Aimed at children aged 3-5, it’s the story of a child trying to convince his parents that an elephant is what he wants as a pet.
Like all Spencer’s songs, the lyrics are great to speak aloud and full of humour.
The singer-songwriter is well known for hosting Play School in Australia and the UK, has published more than 500 songs and established the Australian Children’s Music Foundation. Part proceeds of book sales will go to the foundation.
