Book Descriptions
for 17 Kings and 42 Elephants by Margaret Mahy and Patricia MacCarthy
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Assonance, alliteration, rhythm, rhyme, and nonsensical neologisms roll right off the reader's tongue in a delightfully poetic description of a jungle journey, illustrated with brightly colored batik paintings. (Ages 3-7)
