Little Nelly's Big Book

32 pp. | Bloomsbury | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59990-779-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andy Rowland. Elephant Little Nelly reads a description of a mouse in a book--gray, big ears, skinny tail--and concludes that she is one. She finds and makes friends with a family of mice, one of which comes to a conclusion of her own from the same book. The humor is maintained visually, but the punch line ("books should always have pictures") veers off course.
