A story about Elmer, everyone's favourite patchwork elephant, now available as a sturdy, padded board book to delight his many fans. This one is a classic story about sharing and giving. Books featuring Elmer and his friends are universally acknowledged as essential for the nursery. All the animals are waiting for the rain to stop so that they can see the wonderful colours of the rainbow. But when it comes, it has lost its colours. Elmer has a solution; he shares his own very special colours with the rainbow. Soon everyone is happy. ~ Julia Eccleshare
