Toddler-PreS—This story about a quiet elephant in a busy city transitions to a board book format flawlessly. The gentle pencil drawings and muted palette make this an appealing choice for one-on-one reading. Older toddlers will enjoy having this story in a format they can browse independently.
New ed., 2014. This story about feeling small and powerless in a big, busy world speaks directly to the board book set. When pastel-polka-dotted elephant Little Elliot teams up with an even-smaller mouse, both overcome obstacles and gain a friend. Though the mixed-media illustrations of 1930s-esque New York work better in a larger format, they still effectively support the text.
