The picture book bestseller in mini-format (from 4 years) Small, but oho! Elmar is different from all other elephants. Instead of grey it has a coloured check. His head is full of pranks and his cheerfulness makes him popular with everyone. One day he rolls around in grey berries to finally look like any other elephant. And his cover actually works. No elephant notices that Elmar has secretly lined up - until Elmar becomes too bored in the silent army of monotony. With a loud "BUH!" and a fit of laughter, Elmar brings life to the herd of elephants. Even the rain cloud has to laugh about it and washes away Elmar's elephant grey in one go. Elmar realizes: As different as he is, he is just right. This day is ELMAR day from now on. Elmar dresses up as a normal elephant and the grey elephants wear colourful costumes.
