(4) K-3 A young girl is annoyed when a ghost elephant takes up residence in her home. When her parents turn a blind eye, she seeks advice from her quirky, ghost-loving grandmother, who leads her to "purveyor of oddities" Mr. Spectral and a secret box. The comical ending and vibrant, detail-rich watercolors help offset the young protagonist's overly sophisticated language.
