Illustrated by
Galia Bernstein.
Set in large, boldfaced text, three brief chapters present a blue elephant and a purple monkey as they search for shade, sing together, and challenge wildcats who want to make a snack of Monkey. These unlikely friends bicker, but as Monkey tells Elephant, "I like you just right." The digitally created art is sometimes static but aptly captures the text's humor.
