A special Elmer book, brilliantly bright and decorative. Great for growing reading prediction and confidence.

This book is a wonderful celebration not just of the fun that can be had when everyone “alljoins in” but also of Elmer’s 20th birthday.

This is a visual treat.
The Daily Telegraph
The first Elmer book seemed like a great and original one-off, McKee’s extraordinary imagination and colourful art have between them maintained originality and delight over all these years: amazing.
School Librarian
McKee, like the animals, has clearly had fun with his art: there is much to amuse in his playful scenes, particularly those of the preparations and parade. Elmer fans will not be disappointed by his latest jungle frolics.
Books for Keeps
A truly special book, and Elmer fans young and old, will not be disappointed.
The Bookbag
An absolute classic.
EYE
A lovely story to share at the end of the day.
