About this story
Little hands can do BIG things! Tiko is the littlest elephant in the house, and he is sure he is too small to help. Then Mama hangs a star chart on the fridge with little jobs for little hands. Toys in the basket, socks in the tub, water for the plant (oops!), spoons for dinner and a pinch of food for Bubbles the fish. One gold star at a time, Tiko discovers that being a helper makes the whole family smile. A cheerful read-aloud about responsibility, routines and fixing mistakes. For ages 3-5.
