This is a wonderful read aloud book for young children. In the story Grandma Tildy lives all alone until the day the pet man starts to visit her. Grandma Tildy buys all sorts of pets that help her in different ways. Each animal brings joy to her by helping her around the house and keeping her company. Each time the pet man comes she say she will buy any pet he has to offer "But No Elephants." Once the pet man has sold all of his pets he still has the elephant left. He leaves the elephant at Grandma Tildy's house. For along time Grandma Tildy will not accept the elephant but finally she decides to take it into her home. At first the elephant causes all sorts of problems but then by the end of the book the elephant helps out in a big way to make Grandma Tildy and all the other pets happy again!
I think this is a wonderful book for children to read in elementary school. It is a fun story with some repetition to help kids read along. This story also shows how everyone is special in there own way. There is something unique and special about every pet in the story even the elephant. This will help students find something special in themselves and each of their classmates.
