Ernest is a happy baby elephant. But when his curiosity gets the better of him and he leaves the rest of his herd to explore the alluring and dangerous jungle, he becomes very lost indeed. Amongst the undergrowth, he meets a rude gorilla, a weary lion, an impolite hippo and an uncaring crocodile. Will anyone help Ernest find his way out of the jungle and home to his mum? From the international phenomenon, Anthony Browne, comes a heartfelt, visually stunning picture book, about finding help in unexpected places.

• A tale about finding help where you least expect it – perfect for times when everyone could do with a little more support. 
• Anthony Browne is a former Children's Laureate and has won every major prize in children's illustration, including the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
