Called The Tale of Bunny Esmond, it was about an adorable bunny that was always cold until somebody wrapped him in a Bunny Esmond blanket. By a strange coincidence, Esmond Mills made a baby blanket that had Bunny's image printed on it. Bunny Esmond was the Elmo of his day. The Esmond blankets were softer than most, and in 1943, the author would have killed with his tiny fists anyone who tried to take his Bunny Esmond blanket away from him. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Railroads_of_Rhode_Island/FQKWEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22the+elmo+of%22+-%22sesame+street%22&pg=PT106&printsec=frontcover History Press Railroads of Rhode Island: Shaping the Ocean State's Railways Frank Heppner 2012 Anagrams en elmo melo- Melo molé melo mole Mole Lomé moel en terms derived from fiction eponyms en Fictional characters Elon Musk Individuals Nicknames for individuals Estonian Proper noun et proper noun et male Elmo Finnish Etymology From fi de Elmo, vernacular form of fi Elmer, or from fi it Elmo, from it Erasmo.
