Rooftop Otis and the Cool Pool

Alice's new friend is a shy elephant named Rooftop Otis who peeks out from behind the chimney at Gramps's house. Gramps says he has seen the elephant, but every time Alice looks up at the roof, Otis disappears from view. She calls out to Otis from the swimming pool and leaves peanuts on the patio for him. Still, no Otis. Gramps explains that there are different kinds of friendships. Even if Alice never sees Otis, their friendship is special.
