The Right Number of Elephants

by Jeff Sheppard, Felicia Bond (Illustrator)

Overview

"[In] a joyous twist on the counting-book concept, a girl decides how many elephants are needed to pull a train out of a tunnel, paint the ceiling, go to the beach. . . .Bond's well-executed illustrations [project] a contagious sense of movement. A puckish sense of humor prevails among elephants who skateboard, don sunglasses, act tough, and even wink at the audience." —SLJ.

1993 "Pick of the Lists" (ABA)
