Elmer - a colourful character (Elmer - David McKee)
Name: homeworker
Advantages: great little story about a lovable elephant. Helps children understand that everyone is different without being better or worse than anyone else. Learn colours and jungle animals. Disadvantages: none
This is the first of a series of books about Elmer the patchwork elephant who is the joker of the herd and always making the other elephants laugh. In this book Elmer decides he's fed up being different and feels the elephants are laughing at him because of his colour. He creeps out at dawn and disguises himself with berry juice so that he looks like all the other elephants and stands anonymously amongst them. When he realises how serious they are without his influence, he blows his cover and has the elephants laughing more than ever. As a tribute to Elmer the elephants have an Elmer day every year where Elmer paints himself grey and all the other elephant paint themselves in bright colours. Summary: |
