Like many small children, James has a special soft-toy friend. He's an elephant called Harry. He and James go everywhere together - around the farm, on holiday, to bed. Then, one day, James starts school - and Harry stays at home. Will James miss his special friend?

PreSchool-K?From the time Harry, a fuzzy toy elephant, first meets James, he becomes the little boy's treasured companion, going everywhere on the family farm, hearing endless bedtime stories, and traveling to the seaside. Over time he suffers many mishaps, endures many baths, and becomes rather limp and shabby. Nevertheless, he remains James's dearest friend. They even start school together, but just until the elephant can "...get used to being on [his] own." Meticulously done, softly realistic colored-pencil illustrations in tawny colors cozily enfold the large, clear typeface. James is a sturdy, exuberant blond child living in a comfortable stone farmhouse; Harry, endearingly shaggy, has amazingly expressive black button eyes. The words, theme, and plot are simple, warm, and satisfying. Harry is never actually anthropomorphized, always remaining quiet, but in James's eyes he is a loyal, lovable playmate. A winning treatment of the favorite-toy theme.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
