Bookroo's summary
In a colorful race organized by Elmer and Wilbur, young elephants compete to see who's the fastest. As they dash around the course, they uncover surprising traits—kindness, humor, and even a lesson in honesty. Will the race reveal more than just a winner? Each elephant learns something valuable, and Elmer ensures everyone leaves with a medal and newfound wisdom.
From the publisher
The young elephants want to have a race to prove who is fastest, so Elmer and Wilbur organize a course. With each racer decorated a different color, they set off around the course and discover things about themselves–Blue is first, Orange is second, White is kind, Pink and Violet are funny, and Yellow is a cheat. Luckily Yellow also learns he is very good at saying sorry, so each young elephant gets a medal from Elmer.
