On Pet Club Day, cats and dogs and fish are allowed but the sign says “strictly no elephants.” When the club won’t admit a boy’s tiny pet elephant, he finds a solution—one that involves all kinds of unusual animals, just like his friends. In the end, the boy and his tiny pet elephant show them what it means to be a true friend, in a charming book that invites discussion on acceptance of others, friendship and community.

GeneralDear Parents,
This nice story allows us to have a dialogue with our child on a range of topics, such as: difference, diversity, exclusion, acceptance, and the support of friends. It is an opportunity to talk with our child about situations in which he or she feels that one of his/her friends is different from other children in kindergarten or elsewhere. How does s/he feel? How can we support them in understanding their difference, in accepting it, and seeing it as a source of strength, not weakness?
