The classic Elmer tale about kindness and love, abridged for the youngest readers in a chunky, rainbow shaped board book.

Some things you can give and not lose any, like happiness, love and colour.
In Elmer the patchwork elephant's chunky, rainbow-shaped board book, Elmer helps the animals put the colours back into a mysterious pale rainbow by giving some of his own colours away in an act of kindness and love.
A perfect introduction to the classic Elmer and the Rainbow story for the very youngest readers, with an abridged text of the best-loved tale.
