by David McKee
"McKee's gentle humor and love of irony are in full force in this celebration of individuality and laughter." ― Publishers Weekly Happy 30th Birthday, Elmer! Elmer is different. Elmer is patchwork. The grey elephants all love him, but he soon starts to wonder what it would be like to be just the same as them... Full of colour, wisdom and pathos, little readers will love this classic tale at bedtime. Collect this special 30th birthday edition of David McKee's first book about Elmer, that turned this adorable patchwork elephant into a nursery favourite.
