In their fourth book, Monkey tells Elephant a secret: it's her birthday and she doesn't want anyone to know. Elephant's secret? He's terrible at keeping secrets. As the day goes on, it's harder for Elephant to stay quiet, but he finds a way to celebrate without spilling the beans. Newly independent readers will appreciate the expressive digital illustrations supporting the mildly entertaining story.
