'Elephants never forget – or do they?

'One rainy day Jumbo Jim is on his way home from school alone when a tiger stops and offers him a lift. Tim promises to get him home and dry quicker than a snake can blink an eye – but Jimbo says no. Mum has told him never to go with strangers. That’s when Tiger Tim says he is a family friend – and he has chocolate, too.

'Will Jimbo remember his mother’s stranger danger warnings – or go with Tim?'

'A mystery guest. An errand for Mum. A forgetful elephant.

'Dad is bringing home a surprise visitor. When Mum realises she doesn’t have enough butter to bake the cakes for their mystery guest, Jimbo convinces her he’s old enough to go to the jungle store alone. On his way home he joins his friends in their cricket match on the road. With the butter safely tucked beneath his cap, he begins to play. It’s hot and the butter soon begins to melt. That doesn’t bother Jim. The bus heading their way does mean an end to play. But while Jimbo’s friends all dash off the road to safety, he trips on his untied shoe lace. Will he end up as elephant paste?'

'A friend in need. A thoughtless act. A forgetful elephant.

'Jumbo Jim is riding home from school when he comes across his mate Charlie sitting on the side of the jungle track. Charlie’s needs help. His bike has a flat tyre and the chain has come loose. What’s a friend to do? Jimbo completely forgets all the cycle safety rules and lets Charlie climb on behind him. The pair go racing down the track doing wheelies, weaving in and out of cars and causing chaos along the way. Suddenly there’s an angry trumpet blast from Jimbo’s dad, who’s among a pack of giant jumbos working near the track. Jimbo tries to stop but his brakes fail. He’s heading for disaster— how will he survive?'
