He was taken from the kindergarten. His nurse, Nana, in her starched gingham dress, became the center of his tiny world. On bright days they walked in the park; Nana would point at a great gray monster and say "elephant," and Benjamin would say it after her, and then when he was being undressed for bed that night he would say it over and over aloud

I haven't read this story in a while and forgot how this light hearted, oftentimes satirical story suddenly got serious, poignant and rather sad at the end. Thanks for the quote :)

Absolutely brilliant book and the last line is the clincher.
