Oliver's dream of becoming a dancing elephant comes to a halt when the circus owner says that he doesn't need any more elephants. So he wanders the streets asking to be in the zoo, a house pet, and a slide for the children at the local park. Just when he thought he had no purpose, someone in the distant notices his dancing and his dream comes true! The story is very simple and the illustrations add to the text. This charming elephant would be a perfect fit for any beginning reader, especially preschool-grade 1.
