Little Elephant's Blocked Trunk

(3) K-3 Urgency Emergency! series. Jack (of nursery-rhyme fame) is being treated for a thumb and plum problem when Little Elephant arrives at City Hospital. Dog Dr. Glenda X-rays his swollen trunk and uses the Obstruction Suction Machine to remove four objects from it. Little Elephant's relatable childlike embarrassment shows in both dialogue and facial expressions in the welcoming cartoon art; vocabulary is just manageable for emerging readers.
