(3) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Melmon. During a drought little Gecko perseveres when all the other animals give up trying to stomp their way down to the water underground. When Gecko finally reaches water, Elephant tries to take his moment of triumph away, but all the other animals recognize his accomplishment. Humorous digitally manipulated illustrations enhance this lively tale that invites audience participation.
