(3) K-3 When purple elephant Ollie comes to live with the McLaughlins, the family cat and their downstairs neighbor conspire to oust him. After being tricked into joining the circus, Ollie ends up right back where he belongs. The old-fashioned-seeming story benefits from its swift plotting, subtle humor, and bouncy acrylics.
