Though the other elephants love his jokes and games, Elmer the patchwork elephant wonders if the herd is laughing at him because he looks different. He tries blending in but can't disguise what's special about him. The message about accepting yourself and celebrating differences won't interest babies; older toddlers, however, will welcome this first board-book edition of Elmer into their herd.
