Booklist
… the shimmering artwork will really attract attention. Working in the saturated palette of gemstones and tropical flowers, Wedman paints exquisitely detailed scenes set in lush gardens, forests, and palaces, which make the story's magical, dramatic shape-shifting and cast of gods and mortals feel close and real. A fine addition to mythology and religion shelves.
School Library Journal
Wedman's watercolor, gouache, and gold-leaf illustrations have a shimmering loveliness and are replete with charming details. Elephant Prince is a welcome addition to folklore shelves.
Midwest Book Review
Belgin K. Wedman's superb illustrations are a perfect story-telling showcase to talented children's author Amy Novesky's story set in the Himalayas during a time of gods and goddesses… The stunning watercolor artwork with gold leaf highlights was deliberately created in style of the Kangra School of painting, developed in India during the 16th century. Highly recommended.
