Description: The true story of how at the beginning of the 20th century Jessie the elephant walked from Moore Park Zoo to her spacious new home in the Taronga Zoological Park.

Review Quotes: "This simple story from the past speaks to the deep-seated emotional connection that many children feel for animals. The narrative and the illustrations, softly shaded pencil drawings with digitally added colors, are both straightforward and endearing...A pleasing picture book."--Booklist

"Readers will appreciate the beautiful art and the novelty of an elephant's walk through town. Incredible artwork lifts a simple story."--Kirkus Reviews
