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

Product Information

Todos los elefantes se empiezan a revolcar de la risa y a festejarle el chiste a Elmer, quedando de allí en mas ese día marcado como el día de Elmer. You could also talk about what your child knows about elephants – name parts of their body including trunk and tusk. Letto insieme alla mia bimba di 6 anni, metto 3 stelle ( già tante perchè volute dalla mia piccina) disegni molto carini, ma storia senza senso e senza rispetto per i bambini, magari offrire loro storie con un pochino piu di spessore non guasterebbe. Finding a berry bush, Elmer shakes the berries from the tree and rolls in them until he’s covered all over in their purply-grey juice. With a younger age groups you can use Elmer's multicoloured patchwork body to identify different colours.

Yet, one day, Elmer starts to feel like the odd one out and so leaves the elephants to go off on his own. He experiences what it feels like to be treated like an outcast, and to be ostracised by his old friends.The other elephants immediately realise that the grey elephant must be Elmer and applaud him for his best joke ever. With your child helping fill a large tray with damp soil, and collect plants leaves, grasses and twigs to place in it. This story can be used effectively during circle time where it can be read and then discussed amongst children in KS1. The book beautifully teaches the difference between people and how being unique is not such a bad thing. He soon realises that trying to be like the rest of the elephants was a mistake as everyone is upset, they want the old Elmer back, including Elmer.

Elmer the colourful patchwork elephant has been a nursery favourite since this first book was published in 1989. It can be highlighted that it is differences which make people interesting, and that no one should be ostracized because they are slightly different from their peers. David McKee's colourful depiction of differences through the story of Elmer can provide and important learning curve for children.

They're a brilliant way to deepen children's understanding of the story and to develop their skills and knowledge in other areas of their education as well. So the message is more about the importance of being oneself for the sake of one's whole community - how differences are valued and contribute to the way a group operates.
