As soon as she saw our daughter (21 months) loved this little elephant of all colors. With the picture book, "Elmer" is one of his favorite books at the moment. Beyond the story, she never tires of agreeing repeat the colors and values to name the animals. What is astonishing is that the only color that is never mentioned in the book, it is precisely the color of elephant gray.
"Elmer" is a classic of children's literature and a nice little story about the difference. Messages that help to accept oneself and respecting others are always welcome. The text multiplies the repetition of words or phrases, which helps memorizing and understanding of toddlers. For cons, I sometimes was sometimes a bit surprised by the unconventional vocabulary, such as "the bushy shrub" rather than a "shrub" that was more accessible ... The drawings - pretty, tender and colorful - meet my full support. For information, this edition is smaller prices because it is the "Pocket" model. The size of the book is quite suitable for a child but coverage is not cardboard.
