Book description
Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots!
I'm Elsa, and that's one of my jokes (I tell LOTS of jokes and I'm
going to be a big star one day). I do my best to cheer my family up -
but no one seems to laugh much any more. Not since we lost our lovely
house and had to move into a bed and breakfast hotel . . .
