From the publisher
“Elmer, the colorful patchwork elephant, reveals a sense of humor as he shows a herd of gray elephants that cold and warm are relative terms. When the others complain that they feel cold on a colder than usual day in the jungle, Elmer leads them on a journey up to snow-covered mountains where they cavort in the snow and ice. Hone again, they are now better able to appreciate their warm jungle home. This gentle story is sure to please children….Delightful.”–School Library Journal.
