Elmer introduces his friends and more in this bright, user-friendly board book. He’s the brightest, giraffe is the tallest, snake is the longest – it’s a great way to learn important first concepts and to develop children’s vocabulary and understanding of the world too. Elmer is the perfect pre-school character – warm, friendly, reassuring and this is a lovely book to share with the very young. Chunky tabs make turning the pages especially easy for little fingers. ~Andrea Reece
This charming book of colours for very young children features all the colours of the much-loved patchwork elephant Elmer. Every spread has one or two bold and bright colours. Elmer loves them all - which is your favourite? Children will love the vibrant colours and rhyming text which combine to make a wonderfully original book of colours.
Elmer's winsome personality shines through . . . leaves readers with the message that we can be different and still get along. -- School Library Journal
