Review

Little Gray is a young elephant who wonders if while he is growing bigger his Mother will grow smaller and younger. Little Gray and his mother spend a wonderful day together and he tells his Mom that if she were his calf and he was the grown-up, he would take as good care of his Mother as she takes of him. Mom always has the perfect response. This book nearly brings tears to the eyes as, out of the mouths of babes, our universal desire to always have Mom with whom to share our lives and take care of us is voiced. The illustrations are fantastic, soft, expressive and heartwarming. This is a great book to consider adding to one's shelves.

Overall Book Score: excellent
