Illustrated by
Benjamin Chaud.
This time, Bădescu's guileless miniature pink elephant takes a directionless solo journey through a jungle, across a desert, and so on. The book's concerns--finding one's way, going it alone--might not speak to young readers, but they will nevertheless enjoy the illustrations rich in detail and spiked with humor. A recent college graduate might be this book's perfect reader.
