Book Cover & Preview Text
The two elephants stared at the sky and began to count. “One, two, three, four…” They soon reached ten, and Cauliflower dropped out from counting. Zucchini continued on to twenty, but saw there were still many more stars in the sky. “There are so many,” said Zucchini. “More than twenty.” “Yeah,” remarked Cauliflower, and the two of them stared up in silence.
