There will be coloring and all ages are welcome!About the Book:&ldquo;A sunny, smart, tongue-in-cheek tale.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Sweet and affirming.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;With a gentle message of inclusion and helping others, this title reaches beyond a mere friendship story.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal &ldquo;Heartening.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist In this bestselling and internationally beloved picture book, the local Pet Club won&rsquo;t admit a boy&rsquo;s tiny pet elephant, so he finds a solution&mdash;one that involves all kinds of unusual animals. Today is Pet Club day. There will be cats and dogs and fish, but&nbsp;strictly no elephants&nbsp;are allowed. The Pet Club doesn&rsquo;t understand that pets come in all shapes and sizes, just like friends. Now it is time for a boy and his tiny pet elephant to show them what it means to be a true friend. Strictly No Elephants&nbsp;has been sold around the world and is heralded as a pitch-perfect book about inclusion. Imaginative and lyrical, this sweet story captures the magic of friendship and the joy of having a pet.
