While the title may sug­gest the narrator’s need for Freudi­an inter­pre­ta­tion, this is a con­cept book that teach­es col­ors and rhyming. For each col­or, the first line describes what is hap­pen­ing in the dou­ble fold illus­tra­tion, and the sec­ond line is always ​“I dream of an ele­phant whose col­or is…”, allow­ing the read­er to say the self-evi­dent hue. The book was orig­i­nal­ly pub­lished in Israel as Ele­phants of Every Col­or (Peeleem B’Chol Tz’- va’im – Keter, 2008). The adorable and vibrant­ly col­ored art­work is exact­ly the same, and it will hold the atten­tion of young read­ers. The rhymes have been clev­er­ly re-worked to con­vey the same mes­sage in Eng­lish. For exam­ple, the con­clu­sion ​“How fun for me and how pleas­ant, to dream of ele­phants in all [col­ors] (lit­er­al Hebrew trans­la­tion); becomes ​“Togeth­er at last, this col­or­ful team. When ele­phants sleep, I won­der if THEY…” The only excep­tion is orange, which has a rhyme in Hebrew, but not Eng­lish. Sure to become a favorite of preschool­ers. For ages 3 – 5.
