The story and illustrations for this book were done by Jane Reid. People think the elephants given to Sarah on her fifth birthday are just toys. She knows differently. Louis, Edward, Albert, George and Humphrey can do lots of things. When her parents only let her take the smallest to France one summer, she wonders if the other four will be happy left behind. They are not, and decide to join her, travelling to London and going to Victoria Station, where they catch a train to Newhaven and are helped to get on a boat and reach Dieppe, after which they get lifts to the south and after an adventure, are restored to Sarah and little Humphrey. Because this story and the illustrations were done in the nineteen seventies, details such as money are pre-decimal, but this is quite easy to understand.
