Elmer and the Big Bird

24 pp. | Andersen | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4677-0319-2 $16.95
(3) K-3 Going along with Elmer the elephant's crafty plan to outwit a mean bird bully, all the small birds fly in formation, making the shape of a gigantic bird. The other animals pretend to be afraid of it, and--satisfyingly--the frightened bully flies away. McKee's illustrations, featuring the bold patchwork elephant and a bright fanciful forest, are attractive and easy on the eye.
