(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Cristina Kadmon. A little elephant finally learns how to trumpet, relieving his protective mother and appeasing his father, whose friend proclaims, "an elephant who can't trumpet is not a real elephant." The translated text bumps along in a few spots, but the story's message--children learn at their own pace--is clear. Hazy savanna scenes show the little elephant dwarfed by his grown-up relatives.
