Bookroo's summary
Elmer, the patchwork elephant, faces a challenge when hippos move into the elephants' river due to drought. Tensions rise as space becomes scarce. Can Elmer find a way to bring peace and cooperation between the two groups, or will their differences keep them apart? Discover how Elmer tackles this dilemma and whether unity can prevail in the jungle.
From the publisher
The hippos have come to live in the elephants’ river, because their own has dried up. The elephants are not happy to be sharing. Elmer discovers a solution to the dry river problem, but only if the hippos and the elephants drop their prejudices and work in unison.
