The Elephant's Ball

32 pp. | Eerdmans | January, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5316-5 $17.00
(4) K-3 This nineteenth-century verse relates the festive details of Elephant's grand ball. Rich gouache paintings capture the convivial ambiance of the night, as "beasts, far and near" happily dance in their brightly colored regal attire. The rhythmic verse is lively but lengthy. A glossary is included to help with the period language.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
