Elmer the Elephant
Elmer was different. Elmer was patchwork. Elmer was yellow and orange and red and pink and purple and blue and green and black and white. Elmer was not elephant colour.
Created by David McKee as a response to the intolerance he witnessed in daily life, Elmer the Elephant has been rejoicing in difference and enchanting the nation’s children for 30 years. Why not celebrate the birthday of everybody’s favourite patchwork pachyderm by revisiting his colourful, witty and wise adventures?

It's bedtime, and Elmer's looking after two baby elephants. But how will he get them to sleep? A good walk will do it, Elmer thinks. But as they walk past their friends, everyone in the jungle seems to think he should tell them a bedtime story, and they each have their own favourites. What's yours?
