Pink Polka Dotted Skies

A charming, fanciful and rhyming fable about a traveling zoo, whose mama elephant, named Nellie, gives birth to a talking baby pachyderm. As the zoo’s main miraculous attraction, baby Ellie overcomes mocking ridicule & cage imprisonment to go on a novel journey. She is freed by the zoo's compassionate balloon man and inspires her brother rhinos and hippos to inhale helium, just as she did, which allows them to float away from the grumpy zoo owner, who's a curmudgeon. When the balloon man runs out of helium, Ellie finds that her laughter replaces the helium much better and that happiness takes her away from all troubles. The zoo animal's escapades lead to a legendary tale about flying pachyderms, whose feet leave pink polka dotted trails high in the firmament of children’s dreams. Winged shoes, however, sold in the zoo's novelty store, prepare children after school in the Spring and Summer, to learn to fly with pachyderms in their dreams.
