What the Elephant Told by Barbara Brenner and Illustrated by Akemi Gutierrez

I was first drawn to this book by the cover illustration.  I read the cover sleeve and found that Akemi Gutierrez has actually worked on many animated films for Disney.  I decided to get the book and I am really glad I did.  It was a fictional story of a boy befriending a young elephant that learned about each other.  There are true facts put into a fictional story that works!
