The Elephant Who Got Bullied is the tenth book by author Daniel Gershkovitz following the publication of We Can Do It! a collection of four stories, and We Can Do Anything! with five more.
The Elephant Who Got Bullied is a new and separate book and is not part of We Can Do Anything! collection.
The idea for this book was conceived by his ten-year-old daughter, Hila, who asked him to write a story about how wrong and harmful it is to bully and torment the weak. She was an active and important partner in its writing, editing, and illustrations of the story.
Just like Daniel’s other works, The Elephant Who Got Bullied also deals with the issue of values and social interaction, both clearly significant to children’s lives.
The story was written in rhyme, accompanied by colorful pictures. In the last pages (of the e-book version), children will find puzzles and activities specially designed for them.
“I’ll grab you some food,” said the elephant with a smile.
“Then, can we play hide and seek for a while?”
“No!” said the bear, while the fox his teeth bared.

We want all your fruits now—hand them over to us!
Or we’ll say you’re so selfish, and make such a fuss!”
Dear Readers,
Come meet two young predators—a fox and a bear.
To tease those who were stronger, they did not dare.

when a fire broke out and they found themselves trapped?

The idea for this book was conceived by his seven-year-old son, Lior, who wanted him to write about the Solar System he finds so fascinating to investigate. His inspiration made this project so much fun.
Just like Daniel’s other works, Mommy’s Favorite Planet also deals with social values, so significant to children’s lives. In addition, this book includes many interesting facts about each planet, so curious children can learn more about the universe we live in.
