- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not sure what this book tries to teach: you want to trick someone, then you get tricked. Except if that other one you knows about you first then she gets tricked, too, but in a different way? Or perhaps you should beware what you say, just in case it gets real?A bit complicated book for me, kids weren't sure what it was all about either... maybe because I wasn't, except if they noticed that and tricked me? But was I tricking them in the first place?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I only borrowed this because Oliver has an Elmer set of PJs. Didn't know who Elmer was, now I know he's an elephant with lots of colours. A very average book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Review:This was a very cute book about friendship. It teaches children about friends and playing with them, but also being nice at the same time. The book includes many different animals and colors in this book. The illustrations were very engaging too.Summary:The book starts out by a group of elephants wanting to play a trick on their friend Elmer. They go to ask their friend snake how they should prank him because they couldn't think of ideas themselves. Snake tell the elephants to tell Elmer to go lay under a tree and told them to tell Elmer he looks really pale. On their way back the elephants get all the other animals in the jungle to join in on the prank. Meanwhile snake went to go tell Elmer about their plan. Snake decides to help Elmer and trick the other elephants. When the elephants get back they ask Elmer if he is okay and that he should go lay down because he looks pale. Elmer agrees and walks away to go lay down. Snake was waiting there for him with a pile of white mud, and starts to cover Elmer with it. When the elephants go to check on him they find that he really is pale and they start to worry. Finally Elmer wakes up and all of the white mud falls off of him. All of the elephants laugh and play with each other after a long day of playing pranks with their friends.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another vibrantly illustrated, entertaining tale featuring the patchwork elephant and a trickster snake.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's a very good kids' book and it's relaxing and it's really a nice book to read. And it's very exciting when you're going to find out what happens next. And it's a nice story to read in the night, especially 'Elmer and Snake' by David McKee. It's a really good book and I really like it. Thank you David McKee.
