(1) PS Illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier. "'Hold on to my tail, Little Elephant,' Mama Elephant said. '...If you want to ask me a question, tweak twice.'" Tweak and ask she does: from the names of the animals they encounter to what each is doing. Can she, Little Elephant, do those things, too? The pairing of Bunting's elegant text with Ruzzier's offbeat art, including surreal, rather Seussian landscapes, is unexpectedly fabulous.
