Cousins Elmer and Wilbur have never seen a pink elephant until they meet Rose, who is lost and is looking for her herd. So Elmer and Wilbur set out to find Rose’s herd and when they do they get a huge surprise. As one expects from David Mckee this is yet another wonderfully colourful story that toddlers will love to share with parents, and children just beginning to read will devour for themselves again and again and again.
