Oliver Elephant

(2) PS Illustrated by Helen Stephens. While out Christmas shopping with Mommy, Noah plays with his stuffed elephant, Oliver. Careful viewers may notice when Oliver slips off a coffee-shop table, but the stuffed elephant's whereabouts are a mystery to Noah for several suspenseful spreads in this rhyming tale with a just-right ending. Loose-lined pen-and-ink and watercolor-wash illustrations with copious white space and frequent warm, bright touches of yellow add to the appeal.
