In this video story of Elmer, children follow the colourful patchwork elephant as he explores what makes him different. Each page invites them to look closely, listen and talk about the story together.

Children can spot Elmer among the herd, notice the colours and patterns, and share their ideas about being themselves. The story supports shared reading and helps develop early language and confidence.

With bright, bold artwork and a gentle, engaging story, Elmer is easy to enjoy again and again. It is ideal for children who enjoy stories about friendship, identity and belonging by David McKee.
