Touching

I found this one of the most heartfelt tales by Lobel in all of his works that I've read. It has a lot of bittersweet and the illustration are touching beyond belief. A tale of a presumed orphan elephant beginning to be raised by his lonely uncle attempting to make do with what little he understands to do.
