Dominic Catalano.
Elephant Bernard wants a new baby, but one to his liking--a brother that doesn't cry, spit up, or poop. Instead his mother gives birth to triplet elephant babies who manage to foil his wishes. The plot adds little novelty to the many stories about new babies, except for the triplets angle and the ensuing extra chaos. Pastel illustrations picture a setting suggesting India.
