Twenty-One Elephants

40 pp. | Simon | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-87011-6 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. When the Brooklyn Bridge is completed in 1883, Hannah can't wait to cross it, but her father, and many others, say it isn't safe. Only when she asks P.T. Barnum to march his elephants across the bridge does her father change his mind. Based on an actual event, Hannah's story is told with humor, and the sepia-toned watercolors lend an old-fashioned flavor. Bib.
