(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. Simon, the largest kid in his class, has trouble being unobtrusive. When he joins his parents on an African safari, he's bigger and noisier than almost all the animals. But when he discovers elephants enjoying their big noisiness and later becoming breathtakingly silent, Simon finds new role models. Amusing if sometimes garish pictures illustrate this far-fetched story.
