This is a book written for lower-middle elementary students about an elephant named Elmer. Elmer is a multi-colored elephant living in a herd of grey elephants. Even though the other elephants love him Elmer feels self-conscious about his appearance and leaves the herd to make himself elephant-colored so he can fit in.
I really liked this story, mostly because the illustrations are very colorful and quirky. The story has a good lesson about self-acceptance and individuality... Elmer ends up inspiring the other elephants to decorate themselves to be more unique instead of needing to color himself gray in order to fit in.
