Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This title has been a firm favourite in hardback form so it's good to see it in paperback at last. Grandma Tildy's gradual acquisition of pets is always accompanied by her adamant refusal to accept the elephant, but when he's abandoned at her door she finally comes to accept him with hilarious consequences. Super to read aloud, but has also worked well with fledgling, independent readers.
