Lovely story
One of our favourite books. The story is so sweet. The board pages survived my baby trying to turn himself. The gold lettering scratches easily but that's not a problem.

Loved This as a Child, Sharing with the Next Generation
Elmer is a childhood classic of mine, so I had to get it for my daughter’s collection. She’s only 1, so for now she enjoys looking at the bright, colorful illustrations—but I know she’ll love reading the story as she grows. A timeless, cheerful book that’s perfect for little ones and will remain a favorite for years to come.

Precioso libro sobre la diversidad, es una forma adaptada para hacer entender a los niños que todos somos diferentes. Me encantó y a mis niños más.

Adorable children’s book to teacher little ones about how being unique is a positive thing. Lovely illustrations. I’ll be reading this to my TK students, but it would work for up to 2nd grade. A colorful tissue paper elephant art project would go great with this book.
