By Ronald Keith Taylor

Walter is frustrated with his life. Then he meets Buttercup who it turns out is also frustrated with her life. So the two run away together from the frustrations they see in their lives. And soon nearly everyone in town is trying to find them and return them to those who care for them. Walter begins to learn that he can't just run away from his frustrations and responsibilities. He helps Buttercup learn to face her responsibilities. Did we mention that Buttercup is a huge African Elephant who performs in the circus? Did we mention there are people who pull guns on Walter and Buttercup? Did we mention that there is a pair of criminals who want to kidnap Buttercup and hold her for ransom. But the Police Chief and his department, the sheriff's department, the fire department, members of the circus troop, a crew who works on electrical powerlines and volunteers from all around Mayfield are working to safely rescue Walter and Buttercup from those who would harm them. And despite the foolish and inexperienced Officer Turnipseed on his three-wheeled motorcycle, Walter is determined to return Buttercup to the circus. This warm story is about a pair that forges a relationship together. And even when we think the story is over, we are reminded that elephants never forget. We also are reminded that adults often remember things that happened to them when they were young. You'll enjoy reading about Buttercup's day of playing hooky from the circus as you meet the unforgettable people with whom she and Walter come in contact . This will be an unforgettable story for young and old alike.
