A butterfly has been trapped in a hole by a fallen branch. Elmer rushes to the rescue and frees her with ease. In return, she promises to help Elmer should he ever need it. But just how can a butterfly ever help an elephant?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Everyone's favorite patchwork elephant is back</strong> in this latest installment from McKee. When Elmer helps Butterfly get out of a hole blocked by a fallen branch, he doubts that she will be able to return the favor. Then Elmer wanders onto a narrow path and becomes trapped in a cave. With Butterfly's help, Elmer's cousin Wilbur and the other elephants mount a rescue in this story reminiscent of the fable of 'The Lion and the Mouse.' Butterfly reminds readers that even the smallest animals can help a friend in need. McKee's signature style includes high contrast and sharp detail on every page along with easy to read text. <strong>Bold colors and whimsical illustrations make this an ideal read-aloud choice</strong>, while longer text selections on each page make this book ideal for older storytime attendees as well.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>David McKee's Elmer, the good-natured elephant whose coat is a charming geometric patchwork of colors, has long starred in stories that gently show the importance of valuing diversity, and the latest has him learning <strong>a humbling lesson</strong> from a butterfly. First Elmer saves Butterfly, who is trapped in a crevice by a fallen branch. When Butterfly offers to return the favor someday, Elmer just chuckles: 'A butterfly saving an elephant, that's a good one!' But soon Elmer is stuck on a ledge, and needs Butterfly to call for help. <strong>The message is delivered with a fable-like economy, and as always McKee's vibrant, softly surreal artwork</strong>―he's a master of color and patterning―<strong>pulls readers headlong into the pages</strong>. Not surprisingly, even tiny Butterfly packs a visual wallop, with one red side, one violet, accented by wing-tips of blue and two round orange-yellow spots.―<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></p>-- "Newspaper" (6/23/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
