The Elephant's Pillow

32 pp. | Farrar | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-374-32015-2 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jude Daly. In his efforts to comfort the late emperor's grieving elephant, a spoiled young man in "long ago" Peking finds friendship and purpose. Roome's telling is sure handed and satisfying (and the story even includes a riddle). Daly's rich, clear palette is gorgeous, whether depicting open countryside or crowded city shops, tiny figures or the enormous elephant.
