(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jonas Lauströer. A young elephant's relentless curiosity and intrepid attitude annoy his elders, launch him toward trouble, and ultimately gift him with his endlessly useful trunk. Kipling's wordplay and dialects are sometimes obscure, but Lauströer's intriguing illustrations blend realistic drawings with unexpected and delightful elements of whimsy that give this fable-like tale new appeal for modern audiences.
