Toddler-PreS—The combination of minimalist sketched artwork with photorealistic imagery makes this charming story of an elephant who knows she's forgetting something important stand out. Exploring different ways of organizing information (e.g., by shape, by color, neatly or messily, by which sense you use to experience it), the book relates a truism children will appreciate: sometimes relaxing and clearing your mind is the surest route to success.
