Book excerpt: One morning, five little boys on their way to school passed the gate to a walled garden. When they discovered the gate was unlocked, they began to explore, and first found an old stone dwarf who looked grumpy, and a cat who was grumpy and scarey. Suddenly they heard the school bells ring and knew they'd be late for first class. Running toward their school, they were helped by five elephants who carried them in their trunks and deposited them in their classroom (but in the wrong desks). They explored the garden many times, and were directed to a whale who helped them prepare for their exams (earning 23 excellents, among them), and were awarded tickets to a play, "Little Red Goldihood" which was written by the elephants.
