PS
When the elephants' bus breaks down, they try various construction vehicles to get to the circus on time. As time slips by, their weight collapses all but the dump truck, which, with ten minutes to spare, takes them on their way. Pen-and-ink illustrations use intriguing colors and cartoon-style drawing. The text introduces not so much the concept but rather the language of time.
