From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 1–Ive got an elephant... the rhyme begins. But when I go to school, he gets lonely and then...He goes out and brings home an elephant friend. This sets the pattern for a busy little girl and her loyal pachyderms who fight loneliness after each successive activity by simply adding another friend to their growing numbers. Soon the house is filled with them engaging in tail-to-trunk carefree play. Soothing cartoon pastels frame elephant antics on the way to school, shopping, swimming, in tutus and tights, at the movies, fishing, or at tea. Each frame captures the joie de vivre of the activity or the devastation of being left behind. New additions to the group provide the opportunity to watch for details–elephants unsure of their dance steps, forcing huge feet into the girls tiny new shoes, and intently watching their lures while fishing. What to do with so many elephants? The heroine cries ENOUGH! and finds a perfect solution as she once again begins counting with a new friend. An entertaining addition to collections of counting tales.–Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TX
