Elmer is one of the most distinctive and easily recognisable characters in children’s books and here he and his friends provide the very youngest readers with a perfect introduction to colour. On each page of this sturdy little board book there’s a brightly coloured elephant, a yellow one, blue one, purple one and green one, each clearly labelled. The last spread brings them together with Elmer, proudly patchwork as ever, in an elephant rainbow. The parade of bright, frolicsome little elephants are a treat to look at and will fascinate young children. A handy clip and strap means this can be attached to a buggy. ~ Andrea Reece
