Elmer

from The Book Shelf

A classic picture book by David McKee about Elmer, a patchwork-coloured elephant who stands out from the herd. Children follow Elmer as he wonders whether being an ordinary colour would make him happier, in a gentle, funny fable about being yourself. Sparks conversation about individuality, feelings and belonging, and makes a warm read-aloud. Best for around 2 to 5 years.
