Patrick Benson.
Lovely watercolors in a muted palette of greens, browns, and grays illustrate this quiet story. An elephant and her small son go for a walk and see other animals before climbing to the top of a mountain. After each encounter the baby asks, "'When can we go home again?'...'Soon,' said his mother." Once home, Raju wants to do it again.
