Elmer’s adventures are an absolute must for reading at bedtime.
Plenty of the feel-good factor and a lot of laughs too but also each one always provides a message; in this one it’s the importance of relationships across generations.
Full of wit and fun this is sure to appeal to old and new fans of Elmer and all his friends in the jungle.
Elmer and Wilbur visit their aunt, Zelda. She may be getting old and deaf, but she is fun and has lots of interesting things to show the two young elephants. This funny book extols the virtues of cross-generational relationships.
