This charming book of colours for very young children features all the colours of the much-loved patchwork elephant Elmer. Every spread has one or two bold and bright colours. Elmer loves them all - which is your favourite? Children will love the vibrant colours and rhyming text which combine to make a wonderfully original book of colours.
David McKee (1935 - 2022) was the creator of well-known characters including King Rollo, Mr Benn and Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, which is now published in more than 60 languages and has its own successful global merchandise programme. David was born in Devon and went to Plymouth Art College, where he had a traditional training. On leaving college he drew regularly for Punch, Reader’s Digest, and The Times Educational Supplement. His drawings were influenced especially by Saul Steinberg and Andre Francois. In 2020, David won the British Book Awards Illustrator of the Year Award and BookTrust’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
