Book Nook

Today we have another book from my childhood.  I remember reading But No Elephants by Jerry Smath when I was little, and so I wanted a copy for my kids.  My sister then sent her childhood copy of it to Kieran, while my dad also got them a new copy (the last page is torn in our childhood copy).  It's a really cute story.  A pet salesman keeps offering various animals to Grandma Tildy, who takes them one by one, but always adds the refrain "but no elephants!".  As you can guess, she ends up with an elephant, and while they're not sure it's going to work out with him, he proves quite useful in the end. http://www.himandus.net/elefunteria/library/books/juvenile_1/2983.jpg
