Illustrated by
Alireza Goldouzian.
Because of his size, Elephant keeps failing at the games his animal friends suggest: hide-and-seek (Monkey: "I can see you!"), hopscotch (Leopard: "Wrong square!"), and so on. But it's a whole new ballgame when Elephant proposes tug-of-war ("I win!"). This cheeky tale of finding one's strength (in both senses) contains richly illustrated spreads that make the gentle giant's outsize proportions abundantly clear.
