All the elephants of the jungle were gray except Elmer, who was a patchwork of brilliant colors until the day he got tired of being different and making the other elephants laugh.

Elmer, the patchwork elephant, plays an amusing trick on his grey elephant friends.

"There is pandemonium in the jungle. A strange roaring sounds sends the animals stampeding, convinced it's a monster. But all is not as it seems. Only Elmer the patchwork elephant is brave enough to investigate, and what he discovers comes as quite a surprise"--

On a very, very windy day Elmer, the patchwork elephant, assures all the other animals and birds that nothing could ever blow him away.

When Elmer and the other elephants search for Wilbur, they have trouble finding him because he is a ventriloquist and they keep looking in the wrong places.

Ringo Rabbit is sure that he is the only one who can juggle four red apples, but then it turns out that all of his friends can do it, and when they follow the trail back to the originator of this sport, Ringo is in for a surprise.

Elmer the patchwork elephant experiences wind, storms, fog, snow, and other kinds of weather.
