Customer Reviews

Love the book!

My 3 years and 9 months old loves it, and more importantly I LOVE IT! It's one of those few books that I as a parent am so pleased to be asked to read. Brightly and intelligently illustrated. Good story line. Fun, fun, fun.

Upbeat fun even for two-year olds

My two-year old loves the bright bold illustrations of Elmer the patchwork elephant, his five gray elephant friends and their bright blue tag-along birds. The story is fun and playful, however, the text is a too wordy for my daughter to follow. I paraphrase the story when reading it to her, but it is fine for a four-year olds as recommended.I like the fun, upbeat story which includes a lesson on relativitiy (it may feel cool today, but it's warm compared to the snow) and a little trick by Elmer which adds interest for young readers.
