Elmer is a beautiful story about being yourself. He is the funniest elephant of them all. I have a carpet in my class which is Elmer coloured, and will definitely be reading this!

This was a lovely book to read to the children that explained the importance of being different. It opened up a lovely conversation about how everyone is unique and to embrace our differences.

I like that because it was fun and we got to learn different colours and we might not know those colours. It is to be different because everyone is different.

It was really funny when Elmer said boo to the other elephants.
I liked it at the end when Elmer realised it was okay to be different from the other elephants. She was happy to be herself.
