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

too soft, useless. but cool, kindah
Set name: UltraCool Pillow, Standard - Medium/Firm Firmness, Item length width: 30.0 Inches
the problem with these "cooling" pillows is any cooling effect is almost completely negated by a pillow case. this particular pillow is cool to the touch, but completely useless as it flattens out completely, way too soft I think for anyone. I would not recommend this "NASA" pillow for anyone for anything. Maybe for 10 bucks, but certainly not what they ask for this. I did keep it though. It is "cool" but only for a moment and your flipping it around like any other pillow. also way too soft. BUt, it has been cool enough to get me back to sleep.

I cannot say enough how happy I am with these pillows. Truly amazing. I put REST pillowcases on them and they are constantly cool/cold.

Love it
Set name: UltraCool Pillow, King - Soft/Medium Firmness, Item length width: 40.0 Inches
I really like this pillow!! It’s a nice medium fluff. I do think it feels cooler. And, when you flip to the “cool side of the pillow” it’s realllly chilly. It’s very long - it sticks out of my king size pillowcase a little bit - but not enough to be bothered by it.

Worth the investment
Size: Standard (Pack of 1), Size: Standard (Pack of 1)
I’ve owned several. I toss them about every 5 years because well I haven’t found a way to wash it and not ruin it. I used to buy it at bed bath & beyond before they closed. And it was the same price there. It’s not memory foam. It’s latex. So if you are allergic- buyer beware. But it has a nice little bouncy- ness to it. Which I love. Cradles my head & neck.
It has a zippered cover on it you can remove & wash. This one seems to have a thin, protective permanent cover thing on it. I assume so you potentially can wash the pillow. May attempt that in a few months.
