Elmer's Special Day

32 pp. | Andersen | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-5154-2 $16.95
(4) K-3 Colorful patchwork elephant Elmer learns an important lesson in neighborhood relations when the jungle animals complain that the elephants are making too much noise as they prepare for Elmer Day. Elmer solves this problem by inviting everyone to take part in the festivities. The illustrations are vibrant, but the lesson about inclusion is heavy-handed.
