Great graduation present! March 23, 2005

Although I did not receive this as a graduation present, it would make a great one.
I read this book when it first came out (oh so many years ago). It was my introduction to Sandra Boynton. This is a picture book in (now) classic Boynton style of the proverb, "If at first you don't succeed, try again," Each page has a different word, with most of the pages having the word "try" on it and a different picture. A mouse is trying to move an elephant up a hill. At first the elephant doesn't budge. Then the mouse tries again to get the elephant to move. The elephant moves an inch or so. So the mouse tries again.... and so on. At last the mouse gets the elephant to the top of the hill. And the last page is "again" and you see that he has a dozen or so more elephants to get up the hill.
What a great message, that the seemingly impossible is possible, and not to rest on your laurels, there's more to be done.
