Ox is in love...with Gazelle. Beautiful, famous, and somewhat self-absorbed Gazelle. He writes love letters to her and is surprised that she responds. And so begins a hilarious exchange between the large, clumsy, smelly, and devoted Ox, and the graceful, tidy, admired, and narcissistic Gazelle who could "never, ever love an ox." Or so she thinks. Delightful watercolor illustrations combine with subtle humor (pay attention to the pictures!) to create an amusing and entertaining read aloud you won't want to miss!
