Benjamin the Elephant is big and strong, placid and good-natured – a real elephant in other words. But one thing makes him stand out from other elephants: he can talk. And when he is particularly cheerful or has a great elephant-sized idea, he sounds his unmistakable trumpet “Torooo!”.
Benjamin the Elephant is not only famous for his trumpeting, but for his friendliness and willingness to help. Everyone appreciates him, especially the animals at the Newtown Zoo, where Benjamin lives. He is always glad to muck in when needed. Benjamin can always be relied on. When he’s around, there is nothing to worry about.
But sometimes even Benjamin is sad or confused. When that happens, his best friend Otto and smart Stella cheer him up. They spend as much time with Benjamin the Elephant as school will allow. Together they have many exciting adventures in Newtown, the surrounding area, and sometimes much further afield.
