Elmer and the Race

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The young elephants want to prove who is the fastest, so Elmer and Wilbur organise a race. Each decorated a different colour, the racers set off around the course and discover things about themselves â Blue may be first and Orange second, but White is kind, Pink and Violet are funny and Yellow is a cheat.
