Elmer and the Birthday Quake

(4) K-3 While stomping to celebrate the patriarch's one-hundredth birthday, a herd of pink elephants accidentally strands Old on a pillar of rock. Super El, Elmer's superhero friend, zooms to the rescue in the nick of time. The rich gouache pink elephants and familiar patchwork Elmer are cheery as always, but Elmer's fans may be disappointed with his tiny role in the slight story.
