From the award-winning team behind There's a Tiger on the Train comes another tale with animal fun and a universal theme. This is a story about learning to love yourself and follow your dreams no matter what challenges the world throws your way.

Elvis the crocodile dreams of being a circus star like best friend Flossie. But Sidney the Ring Master only lets fluffy and furry animals perform on stage. How can Elvis show that he's got what it takes? A rhyming tale full of circus fun about celebrating difference and overcoming prejudice.

The Inspiration

This book was inspired by my parents' experiences as part of the Windrush Generation. I hope this story resonates with anyone who has experienced prejudice. It's a book full of joy, friendship, inclusivity and ice cream.
