The late McKee's vibrantly hued pachyderm returns for another adventure.Elmer's friend Rose, a young pink elephant, relays a message that his Aunt Zelda is looking for him. Elmer sets out to find her, worried because "she's a bit deaf" and forgetful. Other friends tell Elmer that Zelda has something to give him. When he locates her, she can't remember what it is. She does recall a meeting with Grandpa Eldo, so they look for him, and he happily supplies the answer. Wordless illustrated pages are interspersed with the spare text and provide nuanced insights into the characters as they express concern for Aunt Zelda and acceptance of her difficulties (she mishears most of what Elmer says, but he takes it in stride). The landscape is fantastical, filled with plants, trees, and rocks in yellows, browns, purples, and pinks, creating a soft, curved patchwork effect. Elmer's family members, like him, are drawn with imaginative designs; Aunt Zelda is purple with turquoise diamonds, while Grandpa Eldo is yellow and covered with triangles. Elmer treats Aunt Zelda with patience and acceptance-a gently conveyed and strong message for young readers with elderly family members of their own. Fans of the series will be heartened.
