Sammy the Elephant is reintroduced to his own inner strengths and abilities through the guidance of Mr. Camel. After Sammy goes through a learning period during which he discovers many things he can do well, there is a crisis-- a fire near the circus -- and a resolution, as Sammy saves the day. Sammy emerges from his experiences with a new sense of self-appreciation. The story does not overtly deal with bedwetting and incontinence issues. A ""Note to Parents"" section includes educational information about bed wetting -- normal development vs. problem, talking to pediatrician or mental health professional, parent skills to cope with bedwetting and more.
