Un día recorrido diacrónicamente hacia el sueño de un elefante. Joyce nunca habría podido.

Elmer is altijd leuk, al moet ik zeggen dat deze me minder aansprak dan Elmerboeken die we eerder hebben gelezen. Waarschijnlijk omdat er niet echt een verhaalevolutie in zit; het is gewoon een beschrijving van het verloop van een gewone dag bij Elmer. Wel kleurrijk en goedgezind.

This beautifully and brightly illustrated board book featuring Elmer - a patchwork patterned elephant - is about his day. From waking up in the morning to going to sleep at night, the reader gets to see how Elmer enjoys his day.

Uno de los libros más bellos del mundo infantil. Élmer nos muestra su día a día a través de las páginas y nos platica muy sutilmente la maravilla de ser cada quien un individuo bellísimo.

Lo recomiendo para todes. 💓

Got this book from the free little library at our park. Super 1994 artwork. All about the tasks to get read for the day, eating, bathing and playing. But why are the birds watching Elmer bathe?…

Si el niño elije este libro y como adulto le ayudas (comprar, regalar, prestar) para que pueda leerlo, ten por seguro que es una buena elección. Si como adulto, te gustaría conocer un poco más sobre el libro, entonces te invito a leer la reseña:

Es un libro pensado para niños, pensando en 2 a 6 años, en donde acompañamos a Elmer en sus actividades diarias. Es un libro de muchos colores que llama la atención a los niños.
