Elbert, the Curious Clock Tower Bear

“This sweet story has gorgeous, soft illustrations to match its tone. The pencil drawings with muted colors move into breathtaking double-page spreads that could tell the story even without the narrative. Use this title to explain the concept of curiosity and to celebrate curiosity in children.” —School Library Connection, starred review

“Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is a delight with a powerful message about remaining curious. Elbert’s countdown appears on alternating pages, with the clock tower’s face displaying the time, which could be useful in helping young readers learning to tell time. The text is full of lush vocabulary and deep thinking, pondering where curiosity lives in the body…. Worthwhile to any reader young or old.” —School Library Journal

“Prahin’s pencil and digitally colored illustrations create a world fit for exploration. Elbert’s wide-eyed approach to the world highlights how much there is to be gained by staying open to new experiences.” —Publishers Weekly
