I Dream of an Elephant takes readers through a wondrous world where they will encounter elephants of many colorful shades that sing, dance, and play. Each page's descriptive sing-song text leaves out the last word, allowing little ones to chime in and complete the rhyme while learning a range of colors. Amusing color-themed illustrations provide clues for the words that have been left out. I Dream of an Elephant teaches children about colors with a fun, fill-in-the-blank challenge that encourages participation.

Accomplished illustrator Ami Rubinger once again turns his humorous and imaginative eye to an otherwise simple subject. His colorful elephants will make little faces smile, and the rhyming game will have them learning words and colors.

      PreS-This is a beautifully conceived book. Each spread focuses on one color, features an elephant, and has a rhyme that readers get to finish: "Jumping and playing the whole morning through!/I dream of an elephant whose color is]." The usual red, green, and yellow are included, but so are gray, pink, black, white, and orange: "Oh no! He is ORANGEhow will I rhyme?/I'll dream of this elephant some other time." The stylized illustrations are a treat for the eyes, and the words on each page are in a different coordinating hue. Although there are many books on colors, this one should find a place in most collections."Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA"

      Rubinger's rhyme scheme and illustrations challenge readers to guess an elephant's color. "I dream of an elephant whose color is..." yields, with a page turn, an image of a green, guitar-playing elephant with the text, "The animals all love this rockin' routine!" The story is a good choice for read-aloud time; toddlers will love calling out the answers.
