There are lots of elephants, but there’s only one Elmer and it’s always fun to spend time in his world. This large format board book is full of things to spot with Elmer and as you work your way through, you’ll be learning numbers and colours too.
The pages are - of course - bold and colourful – the number four page in particular zings, with cheeky monkeys in bright red trees, and you’ll need to turn it sideways to enjoy it properly. Elmer goes for swim on the number 7 spread and his busy bird friends join him on the page for number 9. Lovely to look at, fun to share, and a great way to learn to count. Elmer rules!
Learn to count to ten, and have fun spotting all the animals with Elmer the patchwork elephant!
