Elmer's Weather
(5 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Andersen Press
Everyone’s favourite patchwork elephant is experiencing all kinds of weather in this chunky board book for the very youngest book lovers.
Little hands will enjoy turning the pages using the helpful die-cut tabs and David McKee’s bright and beautiful illustrations are a feast for eyes of all ages. The text is minimal, with a single line, ‘Elmer flies in the wind’, paired with some fun sounds to say together: ‘Wheeeeee!’.
Elmer enjoys thunder and lightning, looking cool in his shades in the bright sunshine and splashing about in the rain, but Elmer likes snow best of all.
This is a lovely way to introduce a classic character before readers are ready for the full stories, and a great opportunity to discuss and learn about the weather.

A lovely colourful story of Elmer's fun whatever the weather. A little hard to make a story of the wording as mostly dialogue but read with lots of expression we get a good reaction from our daughter.

We got it from the Bookstart baby pack. It's a great book to help my little boy to learn about the weather. Now he's 18 months and when he wants me to read it he just says "ha ha ha" imitating the birds laughing on the last page.

My 5-month-old daughter loves the colourful patchwork of Elmer. Every time we start to read the book she gives a giggle of delight when she sees the cover.
