Klappentext Elmer takes a slower walk than normal and notices many amazing things, compelling him to pass on the tenets of mindfulness to the other animals, who are often too busy. Zusammenfassung 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 all say they don't have time to stop. Luckily Wilbur arrives at last and shares Elmer's enjoyment in the stars.
