Zoe and Beans: The Magic Hoop - Tapa dura

Zoe has found a fun new game to play! When Beans jumps through her hoop he magically transforms into . . . Beans the rabbit, with floppy ears, or Beans the crocodile, with snappy jaws! But could Beans the elephant be a jump too far? The hoop may be magic but it's only small - and a great big elephant could easily get stuck . . .
