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
Elmer's winsome personality shines through . . . leaves readers with the message that we can be different and still get along. -- School Library Journal
