Author Talk featuring Kevin Henkes
Five big and brightly colored elephants are on a mission in this picture book by Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes. With a text shimmering with repetition and rhythm, bright pastel illustrations, and an adorable parade of elephants, Kevin Henkes introduces basic concepts such as numbers, shapes, adjectives, adverbs, and daytime and nighttime.
