What is Elmer and the Monster about?
When a mysterious roar echoes through the jungle, the animals flee in fear. Only Elmer, the patchwork elephant, dares to investigate. He discovers that the 'monster' is actually a frightened creature named Bloo-Bloo, who is just as scared as everyone else. Elmer befriends Bloo-Bloo and helps the other animals realise that things aren't always as scary as they seem.
