Current members treasure their birds, fish, cats, and dogs, but ayoung boy taking a walk with his tiny elephant, sharing an umbrella in a cool fall rain, sees nowelcome for his friend, so he simply gives his usual support. 'That's what friends do—lift eachother over the cracks…brave the scary things for you.' The boy and his elephant meet a girl with askunk, who were also excluded from the Pet Club meeting, and decide to start a club of their own,one in which all are welcome. Friends 'never leave anyone behind.' Illustrations emphasize thewarmth of this message with Photoshop, block prints, and pencil in color spreads alternated withsmaller vignettes highlighting the expressions of the children and their pets.

Sweet and affirming. --Kirkus, August 15, 2015Having a tiny elephant for a pet sounds idyllic, but a boy discovers that thelocal Pet Club doesnâ€t allow them; a stern girl points at a “Strictly No Elephants― sign.Heading home in the rain, the boy and his elephant spot a girl with her skunk. “They donâ€twant us to play with them either,― she says.
