Little Why

(4) PS Beautifully textured, stylized illustrations against a white background offer a baby elephant's perspective during a herd's walk to a watering hole. Against adult advice, Little Why frequently wanders from line, meeting exciting new creatures (e.g., wildebeests, crocodiles) with body features Little Why covets. Although the minimal text has appealing repetition, the narration tends toward baby-talk and resolves in a bland message about specialness.
