The other elephants are busy getting ready for their annual Elmer's Special Day, so Elmer the patchwork elephant goes for walks in the jungle to get out of the way; but he finds that the other animals are being disturbed by the noise of all the preparations. Elmer finds a novel way to keep everyone happy without spoiling the elephants' celebration.
I'll be honest; I bought quite a few books in the Elmer series when my older son was growing up. I read this to my younger son as a bedtime story, by special request following on from reading Elmer a couple of nights before. I love Elmer's sense of fun and his empathic solutions.
Short, sweet and lots of fun; it brings a smile to your face.
