Elmer: 30th Anniversary Edition: 1 (Elmer Picture Books)

Product Information

Look at the decorated elephants on Elmer Day. Which is your favourite? Can you explain why? Can you describe one of the elephants to a friend who has to guess which one you are thinking of? Se pinta todo el cuerpo con una fruta que finalmente lo termina dejando color elefante y así camuflado se mete entre sus amigos sin que nadie lo reconozca y cuando nadie se lo espera...¡Los asusta! Unfortunately, Elmer thinks that maybe the other elephants are laughing at him – for being different – instead of laughing with him – for being funny and loveable. Planning an English lesson about Elmer the Elephant? You can find all the activities you need to keep your pupils entertained right here. If you'd like some ideas to get you started, then look no further: This is the first Elmer book, and there are many others. Unfortunately, my library has only a very few of the books, perhaps because they’re British books.

The Elmer books have been translated into more than 50 languages and there are now Elmer the elephant toys, clothes and even fairground rides across the world.

Summary

This particular book is a great educational tool for children who are enjoying learning their colors. Thanks to Wiebke, I’ve discovered my first Elmer book. I’m very grateful. This is a gift worthy book for new babies and for young children. I have read it with my 7 year old girl( i used to have this book for my older kids in the past and read it from the age of 4) , I put 3 stars, too much for me buy my daughter insisted for 3! The drawings are very cute but the story is meaningless and without respect for children, perhaps offering them stories with a little more depth would not hurt... being small (4-7 years old) do not mean not being able to reason and distinguish the emotions and circumstances of the events of life... to make them become nearly retarded will do their job cell phones, videogames, tablet and so on... Why not use this Elmer Word Mat to help children learn all the vocabulary associated with this story? It includes words such as herd, jungle, patchwork and different to help pupils write and talk about the story. Visual Spatial Relations is organizing the body in relation to objects or spatial awareness. This is an important part of handwriting. Spacing those pieces amongst the others and in relation to the lines is one way to work on this skill.

Can you count the berries on the bush? Can you count the coloured patches on Elmer? Can you count how many elephants are in the herd? Can you count how many other animals are in the jungle? Elmer the Patchwork Elephant is one of the most iconic children’s book characters. The Elmer stories are all about celebrating difference, and their positive message and cheerful illustrations have deservedly made the colourful elephant a modern classic. Did you know there are still people among us who don't know about Elmer? How sad for them! You must take it upon yourself to educate them.There are lots of adverbs in the story, e.g. absolutely, quietly, usually. Can you find any more? Can you describe what adverbs are? Can you make some sentences which include adverbs? Kids can trace their bodies with large pieces of paper and then fill the space with colorful paper squares to celebrate uniqueness in this Elmer the Elephant preschool activity. Teach Acceptance, Differences, and Diversity Elmer teaches us that everyone has something unique to bring the table and there's no point trying to disguise your true self. Always be yourself, especially if you are a multicoloured elephant. Elmer teaches us about diversity. He teaches us about identity and tolerance. We all have different colors, shapes, interests, abilities, talents, and ideas. Those differences are what make us special. Let’s see those differences, accept them, and celebrate them! Lo que me ha gustado de la novela es que a pesar de lo que pueda parecer en la sinopsis, Elmer no es repudiado o discriminado por los demás elefantes como pasa, por ejemplo, en El patito feo. Él simplemente es distinto a los demás pero se llevan todos muy bien y se divierten con sus locuras.
