Have you been introduced to the world of Elmer yet? We just started reading Elmer books this year and have really enjoyed them! This week’s book is the first written and is titled Elmer. In this story the main character, Elmer, is a patchwork elephant, not gray like all the others.
Elmer lives with a herd of elephants. They are all different shapes, sizes and ages but they are all the same colour.
But Elmer is different. He is a patchwork of beautiful and bold colours. Elmer is not “elephant colour”.
Elmer is the life and soul of the herd and the source of laughter, fun and games. But Elmer is conscious that he doesn’t look the same colour as all the other elephants. One morning he slips quietly away, through the jungle.
Elmer finds a bush covered in “elephant-colured” berries and he covers himself in the juice. Slowly, he covers his beautiful patchwork until he looks like any other elephant.
When Elmer returns to the herd no-one notices him. Something doesn’t feel right to Elmer. The elephants are being very serious, standing still and silent.
Emer raises his trunk and shouts “Booo!” and the other elephants leap and fall in shock and surprise. As they laugh the rain clouds burst and the rain washes the berry juice off Elmer’s skin.
Oh Elmer… It didn’t take you long to show your true colours. /batman-arkham-knight-game-free-download-for-android.html.
The elephants decide this is Elmer’s biggest joke so far and to celebrate they decide that on Elmer’s Day all elephants must decorate themselves in bright colours and patterns and Elmer will decorate himself in “elephant colour”.
