The Saggy Baggy Elephant - Book

The Saggy Baggy Elephant is a Little Golden Book by Kathryn and Byron Jackson, illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren and first published in 1947. Its young elephant worries about his wrinkly, saggy, baggy skin until his worries are finally put to rest, a gentle story about accepting yourself the way you are.

Tenggren also illustrated The Poky Little Puppy and was a chief illustrator at Walt Disney in the late 1930s, and his jungle scenes are full of color and character. This is a hardcover Little Golden Book, a classic read-aloud for preschoolers.
