What the Elephant Told

40 pp. | Holt | June, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6442-7 $$15.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Akemi Gutierrez. A young boy befriends an elephant at an animal park, where they compare their bodies and other facts, including how they spend their time, what they weighed at birth, and (a guaranteed preschool crowd-pleaser) where they "pee and poop." Some of the information may be beyond the ken of the book's intended audience, but much will prove interesting, and the cartoonlike gouache illustrations are appealing.
