The publisher is re-issuing several books originally published in the mid twentieth century.  On the one hand, there’s something sort of charming and sentimental about the vintage illustrations, and it would be nice to have the cleaned up copies, rather than the battered, faded copies that have been sitting on the library shelves for the last 60 years.  On the other hand, I don’t know if the kids will be as charmed as I am.  The story tells of a baby elephant who’s not paying attention when he’s supposed to be holding his mom’s tail in the circus parade, so he follows a farm wagon back to the barn instead.
