Illustrated by
Andy Rowland.
Elephant Little Nelly reads a description of a mouse in a book--gray, big ears, skinny tail--and concludes that she is one. She finds and makes friends with a family of mice, one of which comes to a conclusion of her own from the same book. The humor is maintained visually, but the punch line ("books should always have pictures") veers off course.
