The Elephant’s Child

Based on a story by Rudyard Kipling

Lyrics by John Jacobson | Music by Emily Crocker

Children the whole world ‘round have delighted to the telling and re-telling of Rudyard Kipling’s beloved story of how the Elephant got his trunk. This charming musical adaptation preserves much of Kipling’s clever text with its fascinating word rhythms and oral imagery, while the five original songs capture the mystery and humor of Elephant’s Child’s exciting adventure down the Great Grey-Green Greasy Limpopo River.
