      I used to rock my littlest brother every afternoon, reading to him before his nap, until he fell asleep in my lap. Such a sweet memory. It has been more than forty years now–unbelievably long ago for a memory that is so clear and feels so immediate. Those afternoons were precious to both of us.

      As a girl I loved elephants, and my sister was crazy about stuffed animals in general, far more than any doll. I now have a darling great-niece and would be delighted to give her a copy of this book and a stuffed animal to go with it.
