1: A wonderful surprise that became a family favorite
We received our copy of "Effie" is a grab-bag of books from a summer reading program. It quickly became one of my children's all-time favorite books. It is the story of Effie, who doesn't fit in with all the other ants because of her enormously loud voice. Actually, nobody wants to talk with Effie, even after she sets out in search of new friends. Finally, when all the other insects are in a panic because they are afraid of being stepped on by the elephants, Effie's tremendous voice saves the day. The elephants, of course, don't realize they are about to walk on the bugs, and promise to do better. Effie is the heroine, making new friends among both the insects and the elephants. A great story for reading aloud, and the illustrations are witty and unique.
