Move over, Babar and Elmer! There are some new elephants in town!

Nancy Knows by Cybele Young
Elephants can remember lots of things but Nancy knows she’s forgotten something important! Readers will enjoy the mixed media illustrations of graphite drawings and paper sculptures in this cleverly presented tale! The dust jacket can even be removed to reveal a beautiful poster!

Pomelo's Big Adventure by Ramona Badescu, Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud
Little lovable Pomelo sets out on a journey that takes him far, far, far into the great big world and discovers things deep, deep, deep within himself. Reminiscent of The Little Prince and Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, Pomelo’s Big Adventure makes for a perfect gift for anyone ready to embark on an exciting new chapter in their life.

Little Elliot, Big City by Mike Curato
Of all the charming picture books celebrating feeling different and the power of friendship, this one definitely takes the cake- or, should we say, cupcake? Super adorable story and the cute illustrations just make you want to squeeze Elliot’s cheeks. We already want to read more of his adventures!

Baby Bedtime by Mem Fox, Illustrated by Emma Quay
Everything about this book screams sweet! The soothing text of a parent elephant getting baby elephant ready for bedtime reads like a lullaby. The illustrations are a combination of crayon drawings and mixed media creating a soft visual treat. Baby Bedtime is sure to be a bedtime classic!

Elephabet by Hilary Pfeifer
Not new but new-to-you perhaps, Elephabet is by local artist Hilary Pfeifer of Bunny with a Toolbelt. In this wild and whimsical alphabet book, Pfeifer mixes pachyderms with portmanteaus creating hilarious creatures like “acrobatipants” and “neopoliphants.” This gem will inspire readers of all ages to invent their own elephant creatures. In fact, there’s a Do-It-Your-Selfabet book to help you!

That’s not all!

Don’t miss out on Horton and the Kwuggerbug, The Memory of an Elephant, and Moses: The Story of an Elephant Baby!
