Elmer And Wilbur by David Mckee
Elmer the patchwork elephant has lost his ventriloquist cousin in the jungle! Elmer can hear Wilbur, but he can't see him. He searches high and low, but he can't find the cheeky black-and-white elephant anywhere. He's just about to give up and go home for tea when Wilbur stops him - he's been hiding up a tree all along, but now he's stuck! At last it's Elmer's turn to play a joke - would he really leave poor, hungry Wilbur stuck up the tree? Of course not! Soon Wilbur is safely back on the ground, just in time for tea!David is the creator of several well-known characters including King Rollo and Mr Benn. His most famous creation is Elmer the Patchwork Elephant which is now published in more than 50 languages and has its own successful global merchandise programme.
