#NewYearNewYou Day 10: #BooksWithPets reminds me of this lovely title about a young boy whose pet elephant was not “allowed” at a pet party gathering. This is a subtle but potentially very powerful book that I often read aloud in practically all my PD workshops. A beautiful tale of friendship, acceptance, and opening one‘s heart to one and all.

Too cute! But rather too far on the 'grinds the moral into dust' side.

#vacationread No. 4, five minutes free time.

Thanks @CoffeeCatsBooks for your generous giveaway - & congrats on reaching 15k!

There are so many animals that I love but I have a particular fondness for elephants. I love their ability to create art, & could watch them pick things up with their trunks all day long (I often visit an elephant named Kate who lives at the zoo across from my house). My favorite little-known fact is that they can swim underwater; they use their trunks as snorkels!

A cute tail of animal outcasts that teaches the reader about friendship and acceptance. A perfect story for young children who love animals and need a reminder of what being a good friend is all about. 🐘

It's our grandson's third birthday today ( @Ambrosnazzy 's son). I got him some other stuff, but of course there are books. And in this football crazy family, I couldn't resist Goodnight, Football 😊
