How many stamps does it take to mail an elephant? Find out in this quirky and surprising picture book from acclaimed author Philip C. Stead and illustrator Matthew Cordell. Sadie is on her way to deliver an elephant to her Great-Aunt Josephine, who lives completely alone and can really use the company. She tries everything from mailing the elephant to boarding a plane, a train, and an alligator to get to her aunt's home. Along the way she meets an array of interesting characters, including an odd postal worker and a gang of bandit monkeys, who all help her get where she is going.
