A baby elephant is lost and alone in the forest, when a herd of buffaloes comes along and takes him into its fold. What is he now? An elephant... Or a buffalo? A book full of sound words and bold art — get children to notice how sound makes meaning. Call attention to how pictures as much as words tell a story. A joyful tale — illustrated in a bold woodcut style — that touches lightly on the themes of loss, adoption and integration.
