How to Cheer Up Dad

(3) K-3 "Little Jumbo's dad was having a bad day." The joke is that the little elephant is cluelessly responsible for his dad's frustrations--e.g., Jumbo shoots the raisins intended for his oatmeal at the ceiling with his trunk (Dad "should have known what a mess that would make"). Plenty of white space and a modest palette foreground an entertaining father-child dynamic.
