Toomai of the Elephants: Little Toomai learns how to become an elephant driver but even more about himself.

Big Toomai, the boss driver of elephants, takes little pleasure from his work. But his 10-year-old son, Little Toomai, loves the elephants and they understand his kindness. Asking to go on a hunt, his father tells him he can go when he sees the elephants dance, which is something that no man has ever seen an elephant do. Little Toomai manages to actually witness this 'dance of the elephants' and is marked as the one to become a great elephant driver. We listeners get to hear what the elephants are thinking, giving an entire new perspective on the work they do and also on the fact that they are far from their homes and elephant families. Kipling, the master story teller, weaves a wonderful tale of duty, danger and ultimately great growth for little Toomai.
