Reviews

The New York Times Book Review

“[Elmer learns] a humbling lesson….The message is delivered with a fable-like economy, and as always McKee’s vibrant, softly surreal artwork…pulls readers headlong into the pages.”―The New York Times Book Review

School Library Journal

“Everyone’s favorite patchwork elephant is back. . . . Bold colors and whimsical illustrations make this an ideal read-aloud choice.”—School Library Journal
