From the Publisher
Ollie is a purple elephant who is lost and has no place to call
home. Until Shelby and Peter find him in the park-and invite
him to live with them. Soon Ollie is a regular part of the
family. He doesn''t have a room to call his own, but he
doesn''t mind. He is happy. He loves hopscotch and
kickball-but most of all he loves the dance parties the McLaughlins
have after dinner.
But Mr. Puddlebottom, the downstairs neighbor, most certainly does
not love Ollie. And neither does the McLaughlins'' cat,
Ginger. Ollie has taken her spot on the couch at night.
When the conspirators hatch a plan to get rid of Ollie, the purple
elephant walks right into their trap-and onto a circus cart.
Will he ever be reunited with his family?
