Elmer: 30th Anniversary Edition: 1 (Elmer Picture Books)

Product Information

The drawings are very cute but the story is meaningless and without respect for children, perhaps offering them stories with a little more depth would not hurt. Overall a fantastic book with multiple uses to link with the curriculum in key stage one, while also offering an important life message; Its ok to be different.

When she leaves, Elmer realises he can't get the tune out of his head either – and as he crosses the jungle he can see the infectious tune spreading to every animal Rose has met! Of course this makes Elmer sad that he is no longer accepted and begins to understand how it feels to be treated like an outsider.A natural rebel and iconoclast, this was reflected even in his pigmentation, which was a bizarre patchwork of psychedelic colors. His first story is also featured and animated in Anytime Tales, a storytelling animated programme narrating five of David McKee and Tony Ross' stories.
