(2) PS A newborn elephant becomes stuck in the mud at a watering hole, and three fierce lionesses watch for their chance at the vulnerable prey.

Realistic paintings heighten the drama in this simple, effective tale that conveys a sense of the family relationships and the solidarity of an elephant herd.
