PreSchool-Grade 1-Mama elephant and her baby spend the day cavorting together in this gentle picture book. They traipse across the dry and dusty plains, splish and splash in the cool river, and play in the tall green grass. The pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, set against warm washes of yellows and blues, complement the soft, comforting tone of the rhyming text. The bright sunny day gives way to an azure, star-filled night, and the elephants arrive in a field of dewy grass to sleep. "Last thing at night we curl in a hug,/safe and happy, cozy and snug./And we sink into sleep and dream of new days./My mama's love surrounds me always." Pair this book with Mem Fox's Time for Bed (Harcourt, 1993) for a soothing bedtime ritual.
