Elmer’s lovely Aunt Zelda has something to give him. The only trouble is, she cant remember what it is. And she can’t quite hear when Elmer asks her! Elmer loves presents and so do all his friends in the jungle who want to see just what Elmer might be about to unwrap!
Can he help his aunt remember? Luckily Grandpa Eldo is nearby and he can remember. A typically warm-hearted Elmo story which brings in how to be helpful and understanding of elderly relatives.

Elmer and the Gift Synopsis
The 30th Elmer storybook from master picture book maker and BookTrust Liftetime Achievement Award winner David McKee, about caring for elderly family members.
Aunt Zelda has a gift to give to Elmer from his Grandpa Eldo, but she can't remember what it is or where it is. Zelda's memory sometimes escapes her, and her hearing isn't what it used to be, so they set off together to find Grandpa Eldo and solve the mystery of the forgotten gift.
In his 30th storybook, Elmer's love, patience and respect for his Aunt Zelda and Grandpa Eldo makes for a heart-warming depiction of family life with elderly relatives.
