Elmer is enjoying his walk: smelling the flowers, watching the clouds, listening to the waterfall. But each time he points out one of these lovely things to the other animals, they say they don’t have time to stop. They’re far too busy. Luckily Wilbur arrives at last and shares Elmer’s enjoyment in the stars. A celebration of mindfulness from master-storyteller David McKee.

I liked meeting Elmers cousin Wilibur. I thought the ending was funny when Elmer said there was no time to count all the stars.

Good read! Elmer has a walk around the jungle & Elmer suggests to all friends ask to walk, but they all said NO bar Wilbur then they count the stars in the sky together.

During the walk, Elmer took her time like the other animals. She focused on the beauty of the nature that surrounds her.
