It’s elephants versus hippos in the jungle tug of war! But what happens when neither side can win? Thankfully, Elmer has an idea…
When the hippos challenge the elephants to a game of tug of war, all the animals are excited to find out who will win. But when the teams start to pull, no one moves! Days later, they are still competing and the other animals have lost interest, but luckily Elmer has a plan that will finally end the game…
A funny story with a subtle lesson that winning isn’t everything, from master storyteller David McKee (1935-2022) and illustrated by his dear friend Marysia Milewski.

A new spooky and brightly colourful board book edition of the classic Elmer story, perfect for little readers looking for a gentle story this Halloween.

A fantastic Halloween gift for the youngest children who aren’t quite ready for a scare this spooky season, with a subtle message of accepting others and not judging a book by its cover.
