(4) K-3 Mildred, a lonesome elderly woman, finds companionship by befriending a baby elephant, which she thinks is a stray puppy. After the elephant returns to his circus, Mildred is lonely again--until she discovers a "kitten," which is actually a camel. Her mistakes are almost too absurd, but the lightweight tale is amusing. Uncluttered illustrations show a diminutive Mildred with exaggerated features.
