Elmer's birthday by David McKee
Andersen Press, 2019. ISBN: 9781783447947. 32pp., hbk.
To celebrate Elmer's 30th birthday, there is a new story called,
appropriately, Elmer's birthday. Hoping to get their own
back on him, the elephants decide to play a joke on Elmer on his
birthday and spend the day getting all the other animals on
board. But who has the last laugh?
Great for teaching children about elephants, the animals of the
jungle, colour and patterns, as well as the themes of each story, I
believe little ones have not had a real education if they don't meet
Elmer. These two are going straight to my version of the pool room!
