Peanut

Mildred might want to make an appointment with her eye doctor. While on a visit to the park, she finds and adopts a lost "dog." It's an awfully strange dog, though: It has a long trunk, is gray all over and loves nuts. Mildred loves her new pet Peanut and is devastated when a visiting circus ringmaster claims the elephant as a member of his circus. Mildred goes to see the show and realizes Peanut is truly in his element, and she feels lonely until she sees a "kitty in the park."

It was kind of funny to me. I liked the cover and the title because my dog's name is Peanut. Brooke
