Chandler Washburne">Heluiz Chandler Washburne</a>, the second instalment in her <a href="/wiki/Portal:Little_Elephant" title="Portal:Little Elephant">Little Elephant</a> children's book series, is a heartwarming tale of a young elephant's anticipation and celebration of Christmas. It captures the excitement of receiving and giving gifts, decorating the Christmas tree, and spending time with family. As Little Elephant engages in holiday activities, such as helping with the Christmas pudding and opening his stocking filled with surprises, the story conveys the magic and joy of the festive season through the eyes of a child. <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.88em;"> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_(1938)_2.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png/130px-Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png" decoding="async" width="130" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png/195px-Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png/260px-Little_Elephant%27s_Christmas_%281938%29_2.png 2x" data-file-width="2536" data-file-height="2608" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Little Elephant was all excited. In a few days it would be Christmas. School was over and snow lay white and thick on the ground. Many times each day the bell in the kitchen went ting-a-ling-a-ling and Little Elephant rushed to the door to see who was there. Sometimes it was the expressman who drove up in a truck and dumped a big box or two. Sometimes it was the postman who came up the path with a mail bag of little bundles swinging from his trunk. </p><p>There were long bundles, short bundles, flat bundles, round bundles, thin bundles, square bundles—bundles, bundles, bundles!
