Poe Won’t Go

Written by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Zachariah Ohora

In Prickly Valley there’s a Poe, that’s an elephant, that won’t go. Poe is right “smack-dab in the middle of the only road in town”. Prickly Valley citizens are honking at him, tickling him, booing him, and begging him to move. Poe won’t budge. A surprising little person named Marigold decides to listen carefully to Poe- after all, she can understand elephant. Turns out, Poe is waiting for something… This is a funny and cute read for anyone. I really liked how it only took one person to do something different to solve the problem.
