It's a great picture book, it's impossible not to love it

Elmer is not an ordinary gray elephant; instead, he is covered with colorful patchwork skin and he is full of jokes and humor that makes all the other elephants laugh. One day, he decides he wants to be like everyone else and he rolls in some elephant colored berries until he blends in. It doesn’t take long for Elmer to tire of being like everyone else and return to his old funny self.

Who doesn't remember this as one of the best books of their childhood? A s a mixed race child who suffered racial toment at school this spoke to me on a personal level even then.

One of the best children's books on being different. Read them to my kids in kindergarten and never forgot 'Elmar'. The bright, cheerful illustrations are a feast of visual happiness.
