Review

Douglas the Elephant has a lovely new bicycle, and a problem. He wants to keep his bike all to himself, but, at the same time, he wants to play with the other animals’ toys. The happy solution is to share, and then “It’s just as if the toys belong to everybody.” A bit preachy and obvious, but a revelation no doubt to youngsters approximately ages 3-6.
