Hiding Phil

32 pp. | Scholastic | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-46477-2 $16.99
(4) K-3 Three siblings find an elephant named Phil. They have a blast playing with him and decide to hide Phil from their parents. Hiding an elephant, though, isn't that easy: the grownups find him, decide he has to go, then ("whisper whisper whisper") take it back--a change of heart that's pleasing but undeveloped. Barclay's expressive, playful illustrations outshine his simple speech-balloon text.
