Elephant Soup

32 pp. | Boyds/Lemniscaat | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59078-807-3 $17.95
(3) K-3 A mouse shares his reliable cure for the blues: "Elephant soup!" The fastidious illustrations accompanying the recipe's steps ("Scrub gently") show a team of mice capturing a bemused-looking elephant who ultimately escapes the pot but nevertheless finds a way to cheer them up. Readers will delight in recognizing the tension between the narration's evenness and the illustrations' absurdity.
