Strictly No Elephants is a picture book with brush painted illustrations that seem to bring the story to life. The book is about a child who has a tiny pet elephant. He wants to take his elephant to pet club day, but when they get to pet club day there is a sign on the door that says, "Strictly No Elephants." Find out what the boy and tiny elephant do by reading the rest of the story!
This would be a great book to use in a class to teach students about being inclusive even is others may seem different. After reading the story you could have your students write or draw how the characters responded to what happened in the story, or how they would have responded if they were in the characters place.
