Book excerpt: Viku lives at the edge of a forest in India. He becomes friends with an elephant by saving him from a snake. He calls him Haatee. The elephant makes only two sounds - a happy trumpet, Ahoo, and a sad cry, Ouhooo - but the two friends understand each other very well. Stories of their adventures together unfold quickly. In the first book, Viku and the Elephant, they thwart the evil plans of ivory thieves. Viku to the Rescue continues their tale. This time Viku rescues his friend from elephant-catchers by sheer perseverance and his knowledge of the forest. These Viku stories of friendship and adventure tell us about life in another culture.
