What is Elmer and the Snow about?
Elmer's friends are grumbling about the cold, so the playful patchwork elephant leads them up a mountain to experience real chill. As they climb higher, the temperature drops, and a lively snowball fight ensues at the peak. The elephants soon realise that their home isn't so cold after all. Elmer's adventure teaches them that warmth is all about perspective.
