Ollie the Purple Elephant
Ollie the Purple Elephant | Jarrett J. Krosoczka
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Ollie is a purple elephant who is lost and has no place to call home. Until Shelby and Peter find him in the park—and invite him to live with them. Soon Ollie is a regular part of the family. He doesn't have a room to call his own, but he doesn't mind. He is happy. He loves hopscotch and kickball—but most of all he loves the dance parties the McLaughlins have after dinner. But Mr. Puddlebottom, the downstairs neighbor, most certainly does not love Ollie. And neither does the McLaughlins' cat, Ginger. Ollie has taken her spot on the couch at night. When the conspirators hatch a plan to get rid of Ollie, the purple elephant walks right into their trap—and onto a circus cart. Will he ever be reunited with his family?

A couple of read alouds from this week so far. Ollie is a sweet book about sticking up for others. Also my kids suggested it means what you look like doesn‘t matter. It‘s what I‘m the inside. Well done kids! #classroombookaday

So happy I stumbled upon this book!

How fun would it be as a kid to have a real elephant for a pet?!

The problem is not everyone exactly agrees with having a pet elephant, so when poor Ollie ends up being sent off with the circus, will his family be able to recuse her?

Perfect for the younger elementary school students.
