Kate the elephant is the star of four short stories suitable for the newest readers. As the youngest in her family, Kate struggles with big brothers, disappointment, and inability to express her needs. While the soft images feature expressive characters and the stories depict a warm and loving family, the ages of the main character and the intended audience are poorly matched.
