Een boek voor peuters over verstoppertje spelen, met uitsnijdingen in elke pagina om echt ook zelf te zoeken naar Elmer. (Uiteraard is niets wat het lijkt en kun je Elmer niet zomaar vinden. Maar stt, laat hen maar zoeken.) Die vrolijke, kleurrijke Elmer toch, grote speelvogel (nu ja, speelolifant).

This is a story of Elmer the colorful elephant. She is playing hide and seek with her friend, the bird. As its Elmer’s turn to hide, the readers are encouraged to help the bird find Elmer. Even with the help of ‘hole- in- the- page clues’, Elmer seems difficult to seek.

This is one of many very colorful and engaging Elmer adventure stories for children to get involved in, and definitely one that is best read to. I’ve always loved Elmer books and this is one of them. Children absolutely love looking for Elmer. Definitely a fun and exciting book. It would also make a great school play!
