If Elephants Wore Pants...

32 pp. | Sterling | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-4027-1756-3 $12.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Johnson. In loose rhyme that occasionally stretches thin, a boy dreams of adventures with a playful pachyderm who has a penchant for pants that coordinate with his surroundings. For example, the elephant dons star-covered pants for stargazing. Cleverly embedded in Johnson's whimsical illustrations are clues to the activity on the following page, but text inserted into the art on one spread is badly printed.
