I Dream of an Elephant

June 1, 2010
PreS-This is a beautifully conceived book. Each spread focuses on one color, features an elephant, and has a rhyme that readers get to finish: "Jumping and playing the whole morning through!/I dream of an elephant whose color is]." The usual red, green, and yellow are included, but so are gray, pink, black, white, and orange: "Oh no! He is ORANGEhow will I rhyme?/I'll dream of this elephant some other time." The stylized illustrations are a treat for the eyes, and the words on each page are in a different coordinating hue. Although there are many books on colors, this one should find a place in most collections."Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA"
