(4) K-3 As endearing patchwork elephant Elmer and his grandfather reminisce during a visit, it appears Grandpa Eldo remembers more than he lets on. Elmer and cousin Wilbur organize a race, but it's not just the fastest young elephant who receives a medal. A tame story of intergenerational connection (Grandpa) and an uneven story about sportsmanship (Race) are both carried by McKee's signature vibrant illustrations. Review covers these titles: Elmer and Grandpa Eldo and Elmer and the Race.
