Elmer the elephant is bright-colored patchwork all over. No wonder the other elephants laugh at him! If he were ordinary elephant color, the others might stop laughing. That would make Elmer feel better, wouldn’t it? The surprising conclusion of David McKee’s comical fable is a celebration of individuality and the power of laughter. This is such a great book that celebrates how everyone is different and special in their own way. Do Elmer the Elephant Activities (included) (in letter-e-lesson-packet)
