Hugo the Elephant is a great artist. The only problem he is having is that he cannot think of anything else to paint. He goes to his friend, Miles for help. Miles invites him to go to France so that he can get new ideas. They go site seeing and visit museums, but Hugo still can't think of anything to paint. Finally he realizes that all he has to do is look at things from a different perspective and he will have things to paint again. Recommended for grades 2-4

The magnificent Hugo has painted everything! He's run out of ideas so his friend Miles takes him to Paris to inspire new ideas. While there he realizes he doesn't have to paint anything new, he just needs a new way of looking at things he has already seen! The pictures and dialogue in this book are so cute. The pictures have so much detail in them it's amazing. Such a great book.
A change in perspective can be refeshing. A change in perspective is just what Hugo needed when he ran out of ideas for things to paint. This book shows that if you look at things a little differently, you might find a whole new side.
