Meet Miss Fancy by Irene Latham

4.0

Frank loves elephants and he is ecstatic when the zoo in his hometown of Birmingham is going to get Miss Fancy, a beautiful elephant. But Frank is saddened when he realizes he cannot enter the zoo because he lives in a segregated South.

Frank dreams of petting Miss Fancy and he does everything he can to get close to her. His chance finally comes when Miss Fancy breaks out of the zoo.

This is based on a true story of an elephant at the zoo in Birmingham. She too escaped often and wreaked havoc.
