Rubinger's rhyme scheme and illustrations challenge readers to guess an elephant's color. "I dream of an elephant whose color is..." yields, with a page turn, an image of a green, guitar-playing elephant with the text, "The animals all love this rockin' routine!" The story is a good choice for read-aloud time; toddlers will love calling out the answers.

"A cat from the front / A cat from the back / A cat that is white / A cat that is..." This spirited fill-in-the-blank book of opposites invites readers to replace the ellipses on each page with the appropriate rhyming word. Cartoonish illustrations of expressive felines provide enough visual detail to aid in the guessing game.
