"Young children will enjoy following Little Elephant's fantasies....Along with the imaginative silliness, the nurturing parent-child tenderness is the core of the story."--Booklist "The pairing of Bunting's traditional text, powered by an elegant repeating structure, with Ruzzier's offbeat art is unexpectedly fabulous."--Horn Book Magazine, starred review
