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

Product Information

Obviamente el libro trata temas como la diversidad y la aceptación. Me ha gustado que desde el principio si bien Elmer era diferente, todos lo querían tal como era y él mismo se aceptaba. Esto es importante ya que la mayoría de las historias que hablan sobre el tema nos dibujan un entorno donde el personaje, de entrada no es aceptado y quizá para los mas pequeños no es la mejor manera de abordarles el problema.

Elmer Day - Elmer Elmer Day - Elmer

I am so surprised I’d never known of these books. This book was first published in 1968. I’d have thought I’d have come across them before now. When he dons a ‘normal elephant’ disguise, he finds his herd have lost their sense of joy. Soon, he discovers that it is his differences that make him and the other elephants happy. This is a beautiful children’s book, that will really brighten up your (and if you have children, also their) day. It is hard to feel down when you have such a wonderfully brightly coloured, happy elephant to look at. As you read the story aloud to your child allow time to pause and talk about what is happening in the story and the pictures. Join in Expressive Arts and Design: Encourage creativity with this set of different patterned Elmer colouring sheets.So every year, on the day of the parade, “if you happen to see an elephant ordinary elephant colour, you will know it must be Elmer.”

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

This particular book is a great educational tool for children who are enjoying learning their colors. Elmer was first published by Dobson Books in 1968, and re-issued with re-drawn illustrations in a slightly shortened version by Andersen Press in 1989. [1] It was inspired by the mascot of the Bordeaux zoo (which closed in 1974) in France. The books are published in the United Kingdom by Andersen Press and were published in the United States by HarperCollins originally, Andersen press USA now publishes in America. Forty-one book titles have been created since 1989, and the series has sold more than eight million copies in fifty languages around the world. Satoshi Kitamura carried out the Japanese translation. From the start of this first story, the message is clear. Elmer is different, but he is accepted and valued just the way he is. He is unique and has a special talent to make everyone happy. When he alters his appearance and no longer looks like himself, he is ignored by his friends. He experiences what it feels like to be treated like an outcast, and to be ostracised by his old friends. In this book children may begin to think of the value of friendship and family, identity and diversity, as well as being true to oneself. When Elmer’s true colours are revealed, his friends are surprised and delighted. They much prefer his multicoloured and fun loving persona, and reassure Elmer that they love him because of his differences, and not in spite of them. This lovely collection of practitioner-made resources is perfect for enhancing story-time and getting the most out of one of your favourite classroom books.The story of Elmer has always been a memorable one. From my own memories of the story from when I was little it has always held a strong yet familiar moral message. A pesar de esto a Elmer le gustaría ser aunque sea por un ratito como sus amigos. Y es por esto que decide idear un plan.

Elmer - The Patchwork Elephant - Bedtime Story Read Aloud Elmer - The Patchwork Elephant - Bedtime Story Read Aloud

Understanding the World: Use this Elmer 'I am Unique because...' Writing Frame to teach children to celebrate their differences. Children’s adults will be just as entertained as they are, and in my opinion that’s one thing that makes a great children’s picture book. I can see why this is a classic. Elmer is a wonderful children's story with the underlying message that it is alright for everyone to be different and that we all possess unique qualities. I shared this book with Nursery children who were deeply engrossed by Elmer and his great patch work. Things you might talk about include: What your child likes about the book and anything they wonder about All the colours they can see on Elmer Why Elmer wants to change colour Why the other elephants are so serious without him. You could also talk about what your child knows about elephants – name parts of their body including trunk and tusk. What would they like to find out? Tell the storyI 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... 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. The underlying message in this book offers great opportunities for speaking and listening activities and could also be transferred to an English lesson for a comparative study. The book would be a great resource to accompany an anti-bullying talk in key stage one and indeed into a PSHE lesson. Children will love this exciting range of Elmer activities EYFS, including colouring sheets, pencil control activities, picture cards, sensory activity ideas and more. How can I use Elmer Activities for EYFS to build on all the areas of learning?

Elmer the Elephant | Waterstones

No-one should feel they have to conform to a group idea of what is ‘normal’, and have to ‘fit in’. Often when people do manage to accept themselves, for who they are – they suddenly discover that other people are ready and willing to accept them for that too. The primal focus of the story is on ‘Elmer ‘who is an elephant that does not resemble the other elephants in his herd. They are all grey – whereas he is remarkably dissimilar with patchwork with lots of different colours! Although Elmer keeps all the other elephants happy with his witty nature, deep down he starts to feel saddened by the fact that he looks somewhat different to the other elephants. Therefore as a consequence of this Elmer decides to disguise himself. He achieves this through shaking some berries from a tree onto the ground; he then submerges himself onto these berries. The end result is that his patch work disappears and he emerges as a grey elephant. Communication and Language: Elmer's Phonics Game is perfect for a fun activity to encourage language development.The positive message about celebrating differences is done in a way that’s not at all heavy handed and I think it’s effective. It’s also a wonderful friendship story.
