Oona the elephant thrills children at Meadowhall

It's not every day that an elephant joins shoppers at Sheffield's Meadowhall Centre.

But today they came face to face with Oona the puppet elephant, who is a character from Michael Morpurgo's book 'Running Wild'. It was to promote a stage adaptation of the story, which opens at the city's Lyceum Theatre next week.

And to celebrate World Book Day 2017, children from Concord Junior School were invited to get up close.
