About the Author
Award-winning artist and illustrator Gusti has published over 25 books. In Half of an Elephant, Gusti used digital images of numerous discarded objects "to show children that art can be created from objects that usually end up in the garbage can".
From the Inside Flap
One night, all of a sudden, the world split in two.
Faced with this unexpected event - and with half of his considerable body missing - an elephant begins a journey to find his missing half. Along the way, he discovers the many different ways there are of rebuilding and reinventing oneself.
Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3–A clever and unique picture book that is illustrated with digital images of objects arranged in collages. One night, all of a sudden, the world split in two. An elephant loses his back half, and the sections wander around the world trying out new partners and discovering the advantages of being separate. Suddenly things snap back into place and the two are reunited (but not quite the same as before). The artwork is full of interesting details to pore over: nuts and bolts, washers, screws, wood pieces, springs, paintbrushes, and other everyday items are scattered across the pages, even creeping into the font every so often. On one spread, the halves of many animals circle the pages, tempting readers to match them up. This imaginative book could be used in storytime, but it will work best with individual readers who can delight over the inventive constructions.–Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
