Critical Reviews

"Doris repeatedly stomps off the page to find happy camouflage among birds, flowers and fish--moments that will allow children the satisfaction of seeking and finding her in a colorful throng. But when Doris disappears into a red background, she emerges with a new appreciation of what it is to be seen." --The Wall Street Journal

"Teaching the universal theme that it's okay to stand out, this heartwarming book with equally vibrant illustrations showcases an adorable red elephant who just wants to blend in. With easy-to-follow narration, this is an accessible story with widespread appeal." -- B&N Reads

"'Ele-fans'" will remember this funny standout and will return to it again and again."-- Kirkus Reviews
