Read an Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

Edward Elephant was having a great day. He, of course, was on top of the world, and he had just heard about a new water hole not far from where he was.

"I think I'll go find that new water hole," Edward Elephant said to himself. So Edward Elephant went Crashing, Bashing, and Smashing through the jungle as he usually did. You see, Edward Elephant was on top of the world!

Crash, Bash, Smash went Edward Elephant through the jungle. You see, being on top of the world, you don't often see the little things under your big, Crashing, Bashing, Smashing feet.

"I can smell that nice new water hole," Edward Elephant said to himself. "I think it's right over there!" Crash, Bash, Smash went Edward Elephant through the jungle. "I'm on top of the world!" Edward Elephant said to himself.

As Edward Elephant Crashed, Bashed, and Smashed his way along, something was happening right under his big, Crashing, Bashing, Smashing feet, and it was not a pretty sight!

You see, those on top of the world like Edward Elephant are often unaware of those who are under their big, Crashing, Bashing, and Smashing feet.

As Edward Elephant Crashed, Bashed, and Smashed his way along, those who were under his big, Crashing, Bashing, Smashing feet were being Flipped, Skipped, and Tripped right out of their beds!

Crash, Bash, Smash! Flip, Skip, Trip went Marty Mouse and his family. You see, Edward Elephant was on top of the world!
