Based on one of the most lovable and graphically appealing characters in children's literature, this is Elmer's first calendar. Elmer is an elephant with a many-colored patchwork coat. He's unhappy because he doesn't fit in with the elephant-colored herd, but in the end he learns an invaluable lesson about the importance of being true to yourself. First published in 1968 and recently relaunched, Elmer inspired more than ten books and has been published in more than 20 countries, with total sales of more than a million copies. The author David McKee's illustrations from Elmer are popular as prints and posters. Licensed product from puzzles to lunchboxes are now becoming available. Elmer promises to have the classic charm of the Little Prince, Babar, or Curious George.
