Elmer and the Gift

Owl Books — Fri, 12 May 2023 08:37:36 +0000

The 30th and final Elmer storybook from BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award winner David McKee, about caring for elderly family members, featuring a reading guide and a link to online resources from Alzheimer’s Research UK. Aunt Zelda has a gift to give to Elmer from his Grandpa Eldo, but she can’t remember what it is or where it is. Zelda’s memory sometimes escapes her, and her hearing isn’t what it used to be, so they set off together to find Grandpa Eldo and solve the mystery of the forgotten gift.

In his 30th storybook, Elmer’s love, patience and respect for his Aunt Zelda and Grandpa Eldo makes for a heart-warming depiction of family life with elderly relatives, and deftly deals with themes relating to dementia with love and respect.

When they stumble across a beautiful forgotten temple, Elmer’s friends rush inside, keen to find the Lost Treasure before him, but Elmer appears to have stopped searching… A new tale from master-storyteller David McKee that delivers just as much pathos as the very first, this is the twenty-eighth Elmer storybook.

Elmer in the Snow

Owl Books — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 02:43:23 +0000

At the first hint of a chill in the air, Elmer’s friends start complaining about the cold, so Elmer decides to show them what cold weather is really like. They set off for a walk up a mountain, and the higher they get, the colder it gets. A good snowball fight at the top warms them all up, but the elephants agree that compared with the freezing mountain top, their home is not really that cold at all.

With his typical sense of mischief and fun, Elmer shows how hot and cold are only relative.
