He enlists his rickshaw man to show him the "greatest sight of all." The man takes the boy to see the Imperial Elephant, who refuses to see people and cannot sleep ever since the old Emperor died. Sing Lo searches for many things to help the elephant sleep: buns, milk with ginger and honey, and a pillow. At last the elephant falls asleep! In the process, Sing Lo loses his boredom as he cares for someone other than himself. I considered it a subtle and deftly-told tale on the joys of service.

This book has lovely, richly colored pictures, it's a sweet, gentle, kind story, and it's an excellent bedtime read. Sure to make tired little ones, and *certainly* tired adults appreciate that cozy bed.
