Young elephant Pete concludes that because he is big, gray, and pants-less, he must be a...boulder. When Pete's exasperated mother insists that he put on some pants, Pete's spirits are clearly diminished: conformity is an uncomfortable fit. Dialogue balloons incorporated into the muted art provide a sense of forward propulsion. Pair with Mr. Tiger Goes Wild for another story about sartorial freedom and self-knowledge.
