The Ant and the Elephant by Bill Peet tells the story of how an ant gets into trouble, but no one will help him. Soon after, the turtle, the hornbill, the giraffe, the lion, and the rhino get stuck in some tricky situations themselves after they all refuse to help each other. Thankfully, the elephant takes a stroll through the jungle and rescues each of the animals, including the ant. When the mighty big elephant finds himself in trouble the only animal to offer him help is a mighty small creature.
