Bookroo's summary

Monkey and Elephant, best friends with different quirks, face the challenge of comforting each other through colds. As they explore remedies, their unique approaches lead to surprising discoveries. Can they find common ground in their quest for comfort, or will their differences create unexpected solutions? Dive into a tale of friendship, creativity, and the joy of finding new ways to care for those we love.

From the publisher

When two friends who are not exactly alike come down with colds, figuring out what will make each other feel better can be a surprising endeavor! Monkey and Elephant are very good friends who have a lot in common. They both like morning time. They both like shiny rocks. And they both like to hear their own voices: “TAH. TAH. TAH.” But Monkey is Monkey and Elephant is Elephant. They are not exactly the same. So when Elephant starts to sneeze – achoo! – Monkey has her own ideas of what will make him feel better. And when Monkey gets the sniffles, Elephant has his own ideas of what will make her feel better. Maybe there’s more than one way to enjoy a soft pile of hay, some fresh water, and a bit of entertainment!
