In a highly awaited new novel, Kate DiCamillo conjures a haunting fable about trusting the unexpected -- and making the extraordinary come true. (Ages 7 and up) What if? Why not? Could it be? When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant An elephant will lead him there ) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it's true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes -- hope and belonging, desire and compassion -- with the lightness of a magician's touch.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great for storage and display.
Color: Coffee Linen Texture
Great product! Holds plenty of knick-knacks to keep things tidy. Has a contemporary look to it and it does not look cheap at all. Perfect for office desks or living room for storing remotes.

Very attractive!
Color: Black Linen Texture
I purchased this « top of the dresser » organizer for my husband to have a place to put pocket items at the end of the day. It is weighted enough that he can open it with one hand. There is plenty of room for his billfold wallet, glasses, and other pocket items. I added a small low divided wooden organizer to the inside so that smaller items like pocket change wouldn’t rattle around. The black choice looks great atop the white dresser with its black drawer handles, and the gold accent color just glows when sunshine touches it. Over all this item is well made, very reasonably priced, attractive, and functional ! I recommend it for storage and / or gifting.

Item is as described, and actually a bit more sturdy than I had expected.
Color: Black
If someone was looking for top end, this wouldn't be that. But I never expected it to be, considering that the structure was quite accurately described. It has a fine look for the shelf underneath my printer, the structure is solid enough for me to have put a new 500 sheet package of paper and paper tray on the middle of the top without the top drawer sagging, so no problems with opening and closing, nor does it cause side to side wobble of the drawers.
The drawers are fabric lined, which does a great job of keeping the items inside arranged as I have placed them.
This is a review from very early in the use of the product, so I can't speak to longevity, although for my usage needs, I anticipate no problems there, either. No assembly involved, and it's at a reasonable price point. Plus, since my desk and printer stand are of similar colors and simple design, the fit is seamless. I'm entirely satisfied.
