After promising his father he'll stay clear of elephants who might inadvertently squash him, Nestor the monkey goes fishing all by himself. However, when he falls into the river, it's the elephant he's trying to avoid who pulls him out, and Nestor finds a friend where he didn't expect one. The simple and disarming tale is accompanied by spacious illustrations in subdued colors.
