(3) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Cristina Kadmon. Tired of being tormented by his older siblings, a little elephant decides to follow the river to the sea. When he takes a detour into the jungle, the young pachyderm soon becomes lost and bravely develops a plan that he hopes will reunite him with his family. Although the text is long, children will relate to the elephant's predicament and find the ending comforting. Kadmon's soft illustrations include a number of African animals.
