Patchwork elephant Elmer and his checkerboard cousin Wilbur escort Rose, a young pink elephant, back to her herd. Initially surprised by Rose's remark about a "strange gray" elephant they encounter, Elmer and Wilbur realize, after seeing her all-pink herd, that "different" isn't the same to everyone. The story lacks action, but the vibrant illustrations will please Elmer's fans.
