Synopsis: Even though your elephant can help the spelling team win, he breaks chairs, blows over the teacher with applause, and won't fit under his desk during hurricane drill: also, "gym class could be hazardous. He'll want to climb the rope... The rope might not hold up."

Craft ideas:

• What other animals should you never bring to school? Why? what might happen? Draw or write.
• Make elephant noses.
• Design your own elephant shorts, and draw on it your favorite part of school.
