It’s a cute story, with a good message, and one many children can relate to, even if they don’t have a pet elephant.  It tells of a young boy who has a tiny elephant for a pet, and while he shares the joy he takes in his friend, he admits that it means he never fits in because nobody else has a pet elephant.  One day he sets out for Pet Club day, only to find a sign declaring no elephants allowed, and though sad at first, he befriends another sad girl, who was not welcome with her pet skunk, either.  Together they decide to start their own club, and find themselves joined by children with pets like a hedgehog, a swordfish, an armadillo, a penguin, a bat… And at their club, all are welcome.
