When an Elephant meets a Bad Baby and offers them a ride, it''s the start of a wild adventure - going ''rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta'' down the road, and helping themselves to ice creams, lollipops, and all manner of sweet treats.

But as a long line of disgruntled shopkeepers and salespeople begin to follow them, Bad Baby learns the importance of saying ''please,'' and all the trouble you can get into if you forget . . .

Raymond Briggs has produced wonderful children''s books including the classic titles The Snowman, Father Christmas and When the Wind Blows - all made into immensely successful films.
