(2) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Floca. Twelve-hundred-pound elephant seal Elizabeth preferred the Avon River in Christchurch, New Zealand, to the ocean. She sometimes hauled herself up onto the city's roads and obstructed traffic, prompting an "elephant seal crossing" road sign. Cox creates an appealing narrative for this intriguing, if problematic, individual. Floca uses a spare but agile pen to convey Elizabeth's persistence; spacious sweeps of watercolor evoke sea and sky.
