At the first hint of a chill in the air, Elmer's friends start complaining about the cold, so Elmer decides to show them what cold weather is really like. They set off for a walk up a mountain, and the higher they get, the colder it gets. A good snowball fight at the top warms them all up, but the elephants agree that compared with the freezing mountain top, their home is not really that cold at all. With his typical sense of mischief and fun, Elmer shows how hot and cold are only relative.

Elmer's antics are the stuff of picture book legend and Elmer in the Snow is no different.
While Elmer takes his friends on a journey to experience snow for the first time, the bright illustrations and easy to tackle text will take young readers on their own journey. We learn that snow can be fun, but cold, and that discoveries can both expand our knowledge and make us appreciate what we have.

Unexpected fun is Elmer's way of showing the elephants that cold is not necessarily nasty.
