A strange guest had moved into Lily’s kindergarten. At first they thought it was a mouse because the books had holes in them, like cheese. Then they thought it was a donkey because the pages looked like donkey ears. Finally, they decided it must be an elephant because the books were all crumpled and stomped on. As the children were having their nap, Lily peeked through her half-closed eyes and began to think and decided to find out who the strange guest is.
