Adorable! submitted by krayla on June 16, 2015, 10:01pm This book is so underrated! I hope that someone picks this one up to try it out even though it's not so mainstream. It's the quirky and adorable story of an elephant who encounters an umbrella and has no clue what it might be! He tries to use it in all sorts of silly ways before discovering what it's actually for. Charming!

Charming submitted by Meginator on July 31, 2017, 9:55pm We have all encounted this elephant's situation: faced with an unfamiliar object, how do we set about figuring out its purpose? Our unnamed hero demonstrates the value of curiosity in trying different solutions, rendered in gorgeously colored illustrations and with a fine sense of humor. The Thingamabob is an utterly charming book.
