Laura Charlotte - By Kathryn O. Galbraith

Laura lies awake in bed one night, wanting her mother to tell her the story of her flannel elephant named Charlotte.  Charlotte is a precious heirloom made by her great-grandmother, mended by her grandmother, loved by her mother, and passed down to Laura.  The soft paintings in this book are so lifelike and beautiful!  My sister Jessica loved this one so much when she was little, that she had the entire book memorized by the time she was two years old.  It was definitely a family favorite!
