Cuddle in with your very own Elmer soft toy and read the family-favourite picture book together with this Elmer Book and Toy Gift Set. Including a mini gift hardback edition of the classic story and a colourful cuddly Elmer toy, this makes the perfect gift to inspire your little one to celebrate their colours!
Elmer is different. Elmer is patchwork. The grey elephants all love him, but he soon starts to wonder what it would be like to be just the same as them... Full of colour, wisdom and pathos, little readers will love this classic tale at bedtime - when they can cuddle in with their Elmer soft toy.
Deservedly a modern classic, with over ten million copies of his books sold worldwide, Elmer’s subtle message, that it is OK to be different, resonates with children across the world. Elmer the colourful patchwork elephant has been a nursery favourite since 1989.
