Description
Six-year-old Zoe and Raheem live on the same street in a northern city. They are friends and when Zoe finds a strange object in her back yard she runs round to Raheem's house and asks him to come and look at it. Raheem declares that the object is a large egg and Zoe agrees. She thinks it is an Elephant's egg but Raheem is not too sure. They ask their mums to come and look but they are too busy. They ask others in their family but no one gives them an answer so they decide they will stay awake all night to find out if an elephant comes for the egg. Awake in the deep night Zoe and Raheem see quite a different creature come lumbering down their street - its a brontosaurus, not an elephant! This story is about the powerful friendships of children that cross racial and gender barriers.
