Book Overview
Pablo the elephant has a problem. His art club is holding an exhibition, and all he has is an empty canvas. Plagued by artist's block, Pablo sets out for the country, in hopes of finding fresh ideas. But when he finishes his landscape, Pablo still isn't satisfied. It may just take the ingenuity of some friendly woodland strangers to help Pablo realize his full artistic potential. Bursting with the author's inimitable illustrations, this is an uplifting story about teamwork and artistic vision.

A fine story of painting and self-confidence evolves.
BOLD, BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Most of us have heard of writer's block, that dreaded condition that seems to paralyze authors. Well, evidently theirs is something equally debilitating - artist's block. Poor Pablo the elephant suffers from this. He's an artist who is unable to paint; he stands before a blank canvas while those around him busily create. This is especially troubling to Pablo as there is to be an exhibition of works by members of the Hoof Lane Art Club, and Pablo yearns to contribute a painting. Everything he tried to paint just didn't turn out the way he wanted. What to do? Miss Hippo suggests that he make a change, go out in the country and see if he can't find inspiration for a landscape. Well, inspiration comes in many forms and young readers will be surprised at what Pablo finds in the country. As always, Satoshi Kitamura's illustrations are bold, bright, and beautiful. - Gail Cooke
