With the text limited to a few words per page in voice bubbles, the story is mostly told through the illustrations:  three small children meet a hat-wearing elephant named Phil at the bus-stop and invite him to come home with them.  When they realize that their parents are not likely to approve, they try to hide Phil, but to no avail.  As soon as mom & dad see Phil, Dad insists they need to take Phil back where they found him, but  when they get to the bus stop Mom whispers to Dad, and then Dad announces Phil can stay.  It’s kinda sweet, and the pictures are cute, but there’s not much to it.  I guess it would be good for pre-readers and early emergent readers, but I’m not sure I would invest limited funds on it
