The Elephant Quilt: Stitch by Stitch to California

40 pp. | Farrar/Kroupa | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-38223-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Dressen-McQueen. "We're going to see the Elephant...That's what people say when they head west." As her family travels to California, Lily Rose keeps alert for a pachyderm and helps her grandmother sew quilt squares. The joke goes on too long and the down-home dialogue can be grating, but the folk-style illustrations incorporating stitches and traditional quilt motifs nicely reflect the family's experiences. Reading list. Bib.
