Little Elliot, Big Family by Mike Curato
5.0
Fantastic! Not that I expected anything less. Full review to come.
---
With Mouse away at a big family reunion, Elliot decides to take a walk in the city where he sees all kind of families. The more families he sees, the more Elliot wonders what it means to be on his own. But as Elliot soon learns, families can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they might even choose you in Little Elliot, Big Family (2015) by Mike Curato.
Everyone's favorite polka dotted elephant is back in this delightful follow up to author/illustrator Mike Curato's debut Little Elliot, Big City. When Elliot is feeling very alone, his best friend Mouse comes to the rescue and invites Elliot to the mouse family reunion. Soon enough Elliot is enjoying the festivities and finds himself an honorary member of the mouse family.
Curato's distinctive style once again brings New York City to life as Elliot travels around the city in Mouse's absence. While the idea that families are unique is a familiar one in picture books, Curato's illustrations add extra gravitas to make this story stand out.
Little Elliot, Big Family is another great story about a determined elephant and his unlikely friends (and family!). Great for story times or one-on-one readings.
