Seeing the Elephant: A Story of the Civil War

40 pp. | Farrar | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-38024-3 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ken Stark. Ten-year-old Izzie, too young to fight in the Civil War, accompanies his aunt to Washington, D.C., where she's a nurse. He meets Lincoln, visits his aunt's hospital, and encounters a wounded Rebel soldier; these experiences offer him new insight into the conflict. Stark's detailed watercolors enhance this overlong story based on true events.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
