Hugo's Motorcycle Rescue — Lorette Broekstra

Hugo, the elephant hero of this series, rollicks along the avenue and waves to passersby, while rocketing up Magic Mountain on his motorcycle. From his view atop the mountain, he sees a rockslide sure to harm his friends in the village, and once again, he is called upon to save the day. Typical of the series, this memorable tale explores themes such as community, bravery, and friendship. Strong colors, bold illustrations, and an exciting yet straightforward plot make this a charming adventure for parents to read to toddlers or for very young readers to tackle independently.
