Praise for Little Elephants
"The minimal text wisely recedes for Base's gorgeous paintings, and the story's very implausibility is a large part of the delight... An offbeat and winning mix of earthiness and enchantment."
âKirkus Reviews
"This is a strange, magical book. Baseâs lush paintings ground the fanciful story in its realistic rural setting. At the same time, the landscapes are suffused with a golden glow that casts a soporific charm over the whole book. Interesting visual details abound, from the mouseâs thimble helmet to the prophetic circus posters on the walls. A great book to enjoy one-on-one."
âSchool Library Journal
"Graeme Base has done it again. His beautifully detailed paintings are such an important part of this story."
