Zola's Elephant

Zola's Elephant
by Randall de Seve
illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski

Zola has an elephant!  At least, that's what her new next-door neighbor thinks.   Why else would there be such a large box?   An unnamed narrator longingly imagines what it must be like over at Zola's, envisioning all the fun that Zola must be having with her elephant.  Why would Zola need a new friend if she already has an elephant to play with? 

What a sweet, engaging story!  The narrator's perspective of Zola and her elephant are shown in bright,  vivid images, while alternating illustrations, in grayer tones, show the reality of what is happening over at Zola's house.   Readers will enjoy the detailed illustrations and heartwarming story.
