But No Elephants

I have loved this book since I was a child! I remember how I used to sit and look at the pictures forever - such good memories. You can imagine how excited I was to find a copy. I can't remember if I found it at a yard sale or in a thrift store, but I know you can get it from Amazon.

It's about a cute little old lady who is minding her own business, getting her home ready for the winter, when a pet salesman comes to her home.

Can you imagine someone selling pets door to door? From a mom's point of view, that's worse than the ice cream man!

Well, this salesman convinces Grandma Tildy to buy nearly every pet he has, but each time she tells him she won't be buying an elephant. Apparently, he has other plans. Just before a big blizzard, the pet man deposits an elephant on Grandma Tildy's doorstep and drives away.

What would you do if someone gifted an elephant to you?
