Description:

Oliver the elephant arrives ready to chase his big dream: dancing in the circus! But there's a snag — the circus owner says he already has enough elephants, and the zoo is full too. Undeterred (and armed with a few free peanuts), Oliver sets off across town to find a place where he truly belongs. It's when he stops to play with a group of children in the park — pushing swings, balancing on the seesaw, and showing off his wonderful dance moves — that his one-of-a-kind talent finally shines through, and everything changes! Funny, warm, and full of heart, this beloved early reader gently reminds little ones that perseverance pays off and there's a place for everyone. Told in simple sentences and Syd Hoff's cheerful cartoon style, it's perfect for beginning readers.
