David McKee, through Elmer, subtly indicates that it's okay to be different and Elmer books have been described as

'a tonic to read' Child Education and 'a treat not to be missed.' WHS Showcase

 

Elmer the patchwork elephant has been a nursery favourite since the first book was published in 1989.

Now a modern classic, Elmer is known to millions.

 

He's a cheeky character with many friends - his cousin Wilbur who loves playing practical jokes,

his grandpa Eldo and most recently, Rose, a blushing pink elephant.

So, don't miss out!

Out of Shadows

by Jason Wallace

'Excellent. [Out of Shadows is] the
latest lacerating addition to the
boarding-school-as-living-hell genre
... read on if you have the courage.
The author attended a similar
establishment at the age of 12,
and gives every indication of knowing
exactly what he is writing about.'

Elmer's Special Day

by David McKee



'The first Elmer book seemed like a great and original one-off, McKee's extraordinary imagination and colourful art have between them maintained originality and delight over all these years: amazing.' Chris Brown, School Librarian
