IS THAT AN ELEPHANT OVER THERE?

by Rebecca Elgar ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1998

Take veteran searchers for Eric Carle's Spot into wilder country with this laminated board book. Five times, glimpses of ears and tails prompt the title question, but behind bush-shaped flaps are four familiar animals before the bright blue elephant appears. Aiming for a very young audience, Elgar depicts animals and surrounding foliage with thick lines and solid colors; her rudimentary story line invites participatory reading (""NO!"") before the resounding ""YES!"" The book's construction is sturdy enough for repeated safaris.
