Elephants On Board

By Suse MacDonald
Harcourt Brace, 1999 Hardcover
A hilarious romp through a construction site full of big trucks with a bunch of fun-loving elephants is a sure formula for chaos, and lots of laughs. POP! Uh-oh. When the elephants' bus gets a flat tire on its way to the circus, it can only mean one thing - a lot of trouble and a heap of fun. The heavyweight show-stoppers have a big problem. But surely one of those big trucks can help get them to the circus on time. Or maybe not...

Alphabatics
By Suse MacDonald
Bradbury Press, 1986
A bold and colorful picture book done in Suse’s unique graphic style. Under her inventive touch, the alphabet becomes more flexible as the letters limber up. After a few twists and stretches A becomes an arc, B swells into a balloon, C contorts until it’s a clown's mouth. Throughout the metamorphosis, the original letters remain recognizable to establish alphabet familiarity. Brilliant poster colors give emphasis to the individual letter and its energetic transformation. - winner of a 1987 Caldecott Honor. Available in hardcover and paperback.
