Finding the right way to say “Thank you” can be difficult (and zany).

A young elephant in a pink-and-white–striped shirt and blue overalls wonders how to thank various friends for their help with various small tasks but struggles with the right words. As the elephant considers the concept of gratitude, rhyming couplets describe what the little pachyderm may offer in thanks: “You hugged me when my day was hard, / so you deserve this SAINT BERNARD!” With each imagined token of thanks, the elephant’s small pink wagon is seen to house more and more creatures and items, culminating in a final kitchen-sink gag at the end of the book. The logic of the gifts is nonsensical, dependent on the rhyme scheme rather than any sense of commensurate reciprocity, but the comedic effect will be an immediate crowd pleaser at storytimes. Savvy educators and caregivers will use these rhymes as a chance to introduce new vocabulary words to youngsters. The shiny, cartoon illustrations are bright and engaging, easy to see from the back of the room. A double gatefold as the second-to-last rhyme reintroduces the titular phrase and will provide an unexpected explosion of color and characters.
