Another wonderful Elmer adventure. This time it has been snowing, the elephants play in the snow, throw snowballs and make a snow elephant. A lovely board book to read together or alone.

An enjoyable family read but I had to smile trying to imagine an elephant throwing a snowball.

This is a very fun book and takes us on another adventure with Elmer the elephant. Elmer’s friends are not happy about the cooler weather they are experiencing – so Elmer takes them on an adventure to help them to see how to have fun in the cold. Elmer leads his friends on a long walk and helps them to see how walking can help to get them warm and then he leads them to an area in the jungle full of snow. The elephants have a great time playing in the snow and also sliding on the frozen water. Elmer tricks his friends by making a snow model of himself and this creates a great element of suspense and awe for the readers.
This was a book I read with a nursery group to compliment their “Winter” topic. The book introduces language for this topic really well and helps children get familiar with words such as ‘cold’, ‘frozen’, ‘ice’, ‘snow’ and ‘warm’. The book also created a great lead up to a physical activity we carried out outdoors – where we followed a trail and did different movements and actions to get warmed up – all of which nicely addresses the Personal, Social, and Emotional, knowledge and understanding of the world, communication, language and physical areas of the early years learning goals. The book also led to a focus activity for the knowledge and understanding of the world area – where the children where allowed to make ice and explore how water freezes to make ice and then how it melts when warm and becomes water again.

Elmer, the patchwork elephant, meets a group of unhappy elephants. They are cold. Elmer takes them for a walk to a place where the trees are different and they find the ground covered with . . . snow! The elephants, who have never seen snow, have a great time playing in the snow and sliding on the ice. But when Elmer disappears, what will the elephants do? Will they be able to find their missing friend?

Elmer’s adventure will delight young and old alike as he teaches his complaining friends a gentle lesson. Bright illustrations add to the pleasure.

Highly recommended.

Elmer is in the midst of a complaint-fest by his friends who are finding the weather too chilly for their liking. Elmer takes the herd on a journey where they discover perhaps they are better off than they think. He guides his friends up a mountain in search of colder temperatures. As they proceed they find the trees changing, the climb accelerating giving them extra warmth, and on the mountain top, a whole load of fun just waiting to be unleashed. The elephants romp in the snow, have a snowball fight and happily slide and glide on the frozen water. In true Elmer spirit he plays a prank on his friends adding to the joy and laughter that they are experiencing. After their snow playtime it's time to head back to the warmth of their jungle home. The valuable lesson they learn is that hot and cold both can loads of fun.

This is a story about Elmer and the other elephants. Some of the elephants are cold. Elmer takes them up the mountain where it is colder and it has snow. The elephants play in the snow and have fun. When they go back down the mountain (where they were cold before) they are too warm.

This book can be used in a science lesson to talk about weather and climate. It shows how the weather and climate can be different in different places. One of the things students have to learn is that just because it is raining in one place, it doesn't mean that it is raining in another. This book shows that just by going on a hike, the elephants can reach a completely different climate.

This is another trialed and tested book which I have used in preparation to be a primary school teacher.

The particular version I was reading involved the CD and this was great for one of the children to pretend to be a teacher and turn the pages as the audio read. It also gave myself some time to do something else. The man's voice on the CD was spellbinding.

This was another great book for the Elmer series but it will never beat the original.

When Elmer's friends complain about the cold he takes them someplace way colder and they have plenty of fun; a nice lesson. Elmer is a patchwork elephant but that doesn't have much to do with the story, just makes the illustrations that much more playful. Apparently there are a bunch of Elmer stories - I'll be looking.

I read this today to my Grade 1's and they loved it. They are a big fan of Elmer. We were able to have good conversation about the story without them interrupting to ask a bunch of questions or point things out. The librarian at my school recommended this one to me.

If you like Elmer, the patchwork elephant then you will enjoy this story of how he leads the other elephants to the top of the mountain to play in the snow! It is a cute story and will be a nice addition to storytime.

[Kristin Nelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like how clever Elmer is in this book and how he and the author can teach a lesson without preaching it. The kindergartners caught the lesson (some of them did anyway) and liked the story of Elmer and his friends playing in the snow.

My first-grade level reader (about 6) brought this home as his chosen reading assignment and really enjoyed reading about the elephants in their winter activities.

Elmer téli kalandjában ismét ő lesz a mókamester, aki megtréfálja az elefántcsordát, és közben még tanít is nekik valamit. Picit didaktikusabban jön át a történet, de pont olyan aranyos és jól megrajzolt, mint az előző kötet.

[Ietrio · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a rudimentary non-story book. I mean this is not a story. This is some words associated with some not so inspired drawings.

[Helen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this continuation in the Elmer series! Elmer shows the other elephants how much fun they can have in the snow.

Good for teaching why we feel hot/cold

I absolutely adore *Elmer in the Snow*! It’s such a charming little read – perfect for cosy winter days. Elmer’s usual cheerful personality really comes through, and the story captures the magic of snow in such a lovely way. The illustrations are bright and full of life, making it a real joy to look at. It’s a warm, uplifting story that’s great for kids and grown-ups alike. I’d happily give it five stars – it’s a real festive favourite now! Highly recommend.

When the herd complains of the cold weather, Elmer, the patchwork elephant takes them on a walk up a steep mountain where they find snow. It's a snow day for the crowd, and they forget all about the cold because of the fun they are having.

... vooral het sneeuwbalgevecht bleek hilarisch... die Elmer toch!

[James Greening · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my kind of children's book. The "odd elephant" teaches through action, which there is no better way! Love the illustrations too!

[Le Maistre Chat · Rating 3 out of 5]

Elephants say it's cold. Elmer corrects them that it's still warm, just colder than usual. He teaches them what cold actually is by walking them up a mountain where there's snow.
Clever, but just OK.

Această carte îmi place mult

[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Elmer the patchwork elephant noticed that his friends were all complaining about the cold. He led them up the mountain to where they found snow and played there until they were very cold. When they went back down the mountain there was no more complaining about the cold.

[June · Rating 2 out of 5]

Relatively pointless, but my children love stories with elephants in them.

Elmer has a good sense of humour. :)
