![]() ![]() Ruby’s playful yet sage voice traces the events that brought her from her unspecified African savanna home to the mall where she and Ivan previously lived, and, at last, to the sanctuary. But an unexpected visit awakens memories both welcome and harrowing, including those making her reluctant to celebrate her tusks. Doted on by her adopted elephant “aunts,” and counseled by gorilla Ivan, who lives in a nearby enclosure, and dog Bob, who visits regularly, Ruby is safe and surrounded by loved ones. ![]() As the story picks up, Ruby laments that “nobody ever listens to the littlest elephant,” especially concerning her dreaded upcoming Tuskday celebration, a rite of passage that she has no interest in recognizing. Lovable baby elephant Ruby is the delightful narrator of this follow-up to The One and Only Bob, which further chronicles the animal’s difficult journey to the wildlife park and sanctuary where she now lives. ![]()
