Elton the Flying Crane - Marion Day

4 Picture Books in 1!

Elton is gigantic! Elton is strong and driven! Elton is brave! But he’s still a big softie with a huge heart.

Hold on tight as he and his rescue companions, Connie the chopper and Flaps the water bomber, take you on four incredible adventures.

The Elton stories have been superbly illustrated by Richard Hoit. Elton’s character was inspired by one of the world’s largest helicopters, and each story is about friendship and success. Despite his occasional doubts about himself and his talents, Elton achieves his goals and is always the hero of the day with the help of his pals, Connie the chopper and Flaps the water bomber.
