Book Description
for Vacation by Blexbolex
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
In this wordless picture book, readers are introduced to a man and his granddaughter on vacation in the countryside. One day they travel to the train station to pick up a seemingly expected visitor. A small elephant. From this point on the small family go on adventures, some expected and other outlandish. The barriers between dreams and reality are thin within the pages of this book. Illustrations have a graphic, print like, quality with a bright color palette.
