Elephanteria Library Books About Elephants
Elephant Crossing

Elephant Crossing written and illustrated by Toshi Yoshida English translation by Susan Matsui Interesting volume consisting of excellent and unusual illustrations which appear to have been done by a master with the colored pencil. All but a few pages are double spread images with two or three lines of text across the bottom. The work is difficult to classify. It's not exactly a poem ... more like a personal ode to elephants ... based on a 'typical' day in the life of an elephant family. A bit of a mood piece. The format is landscape, 11.5 x 8.5 inches, 32 unnumbered pages, printed on high quality, matte finish, plate stock. The hard cover replicates the dust jacket you see here and is laminated for library use. A delightful book to own.
