Book 10. 10% of the way towards 100 books.And, pyschologically quite important, double figures, finally 🙂
Elmer is a library book. This is a shame in a way, as Smallest is extremely fond of him, and is probably not really going to want him to disappear off home. I feel that like previous favourite borrowed reads (Rattletrap car springs to mind) we’re going to need our own copy.
I like him too. He’s bright, cheerful and colourful, easy to read, and even has a page the baby can join in with. (All together now – BOOOO!) I’m sure there’s some deep underlying meaning to the patchwork elephant colouring himself grey to try to fit in better, but I can’t quite find it, and anyway, the rain washes him back to normal quite quickly.
If you’ve got a toddler, there’s a reason why Elmer is a classic. Find him and read him, you won’t be disappointed.
The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitterusing the hashtag #100books and facebook.
If you want to donate, please feel free, there’s a link in the sidebar or you can use this one. If you’d like to join in with your own version of the challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can link to you. And also, the booklink above is an affiliate link, but it’s set up with its own tracking id, so anything bought via a 100 book challenge link is separate to those usually on my blog, and I’ll be donating that money through to Oxfam as well.
