(3) K-3 "We wish you were here." Two elephants describe their experience anticipating their child's arrival. Cordell's poetic birth/adoption tale has an exquisitely light touch; pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations make what's at stake clear. Try to keep a dry eye when a late-in-the-book illustration shows an ocean parting to reveal a child for its expectant parents on shore.
