Monkey wants to present Elephant with a surprise gift, but he finds a costume party in progress. He runs away very upset, because he was not invited to the party. Monkey remembers his friendship with Elephant and begins to feel sad. The sadness turns into anger with a twist of revenge and a battle of mean tricks such as freezing favorite shared objects begins, so a war of one upmanship between Monkey and Elephant goes to extreme levels. The other animals make their own plan to stop this war called "Operation Sink or Swim." Read this book to find out whether Elephant and Monkey sink or swim.
