The Saggy Baggy Elephant by K & B Jackson illustrated by Tenggren*

"A Little Golden Book-Classic"
My preschooler brought home this book from his 6th grade buddy.
A parrot makes fun of the elephant, Sooki, who has loose skin.  Sooki begins to feel self-conscious about his looks and finally escapes to a cave to hide.  When a hungry lion threatens his existence, Sooki trumpets one last blast to . . . find more elephants, running to his rescue.
Strategy: vocab. expansion/word choice (especially for preschoolers)
