"Heartening."--Booklist
In this bestselling and internationally beloved picture book, the
local Pet Club won't admit a boy's tiny pet elephant, so he finds a
solution--one that involves all kinds of unusual animals.
Today is Pet Club day. There will be cats and dogs and fish, but
strictly no elephants are allowed. The Pet Club doesn't understand
that pets come in all shapes and sizes, just like friends. Now it is
time for a boy and his tiny pet elephant to show them what it means to
be a true friend.
Strictly No Elephants has been sold around the world and is heralded
as a pitch-perfect book about inclusion. Imaginative and lyrical, this
sweet story captures the magic of friendship and the joy of having a
pet.
