Pebble the baby elephant was the smallest on Toyship.

Pebble the baby elephant loved hide and seek more than anything.

One morning, Captain Ted said,
“Who wants to play a quiet game?”

Pebble the baby elephant hid behind the coiled ropes.

Tiny ears peeped out.
Tiny giggles came in.

“Found you!” laughed the toys.

Then Pebble the baby elephant went looking—slowly, carefully, with soft little steps.

Behind the barrels.
Near the anchor.
Under the sail cloth.

Each time Pebble the baby elephant found a friend, there was a happy clap.

By nap time, Pebble the baby elephant curled up, still smiling from the game.

Toyship rocked like a cradle, playing hide and seek with the waves.

And Toyship sailed through the night, carrying Pebble the baby elephant to a child who was waiting with love.
