May 2019 Book of the Month

Out walking, Elmer the Elephant is in a reflective mood, taking his time to soak up the sounds, smells and sights around him. He spots shapes in the clouds and in the sandstone rocks, he listens to the noise of the river crashing over a waterfall, notices the raindrops in a spider's web that look like sparkling diamonds and smells the scent of wild flowers. The other animals hurry past, far too busy to stop and enjoy these natural wonders. Fortunately Elmer meets his cousin Wilbur and they both stand happily together to watch the night-time draw in. This is a gentle introduction to mindfulness, a celebration of being in the moment and making time to appreciate the world around us.

A sweet and interesting story about appreciating your surroundings and enjoying the moment.

This book is amazing! Poor Elmer, nobody wants to talk to him and look at the lovely things he can see. But Elmer doesn't care because he's happy. Everyone else is silly! I'm glad he had a friend at the end. The best bit was Elmer looking at the stars they were so pretty. I really like elephants and Elmer is brilliant because he looks like a rainbow.

Sarah (Mum): A lovely book to curl up and read together. Elmer is enjoying a walk and appreciating all the little things he can see, whilst no one else is interested. This doesn't matter to Elmer, he's happy enjoying the moment and the little things in life. Great to read as a calm down or bedtime story. Milo loves walks and discovering so he could really relate to Elmer and got quite cross with the other animals!... Read Full Review

I like Elmer's Walk, it's fun to see everything Elmer sees and not be too busy like the other animals.

I liked Elmer's Walk, I liked seeing all the things he saw. My favourite was the stars. The other animals were too busy.... Read Full Review

I loved the book Elmers Walk and I like the elephant and how he loves what he sees. The pictures are bright and colourful and very pretty. I really like this book.

Elmers walk is a beautifully illustrated book that continues the story of Elmer the elephant.
Elmer enjoys his surroundings and his daily walk and wants to let everyone else enjoy what he likes but nobody has time for him...until he finds a friend.
The book is a lovely reminder to take things slowly and enjoy what's around you.

My daughter read this book on her own and loved the story and the characters.... Read Full Review
