Elephant with a knot in its tail
I am looking for a children's book but I don't have a lot of information to find it. It would have been published before 1990. It is a book about a crabby elephant, and the only other thing I remember is the ending. The elephant was crabby because it had a knot in its tail. Any idea what book this may be? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks :)
