This may be the cutest piece of childrens' art I have ever seen, excluding works by my own sons, of course. The two green elephants are dancing through the rainy jungle with kings riding on their backs. It was painted by a kindergartner mixing all her colors from a set of Crayola So Big watercolors (just red, yellow, blue, and green). The painting was inspired by a reading of 17 Kings and 42 Elephants (Dial Books for Young Readers) (Hardcover) by Margaret Mahy, Patricia MacCarthy (Illustrator)
"Seventeen kings on forty-two elephants Going on a journey through a wild wet night, Baggy ears like big umbrellaphants, Little eyes a-gleaming in the jungle..."
