The motley elephant Elmer is the most unusual elephant in the world! It is not at all elephant-colored and is very similar to a blanket of multi-colored patches. The motley elephant was invented by English writer and illustrator David McKee in 1968. Since then, Elmer has become one of the most recognizable characters in children's books, and stories about him have been translated into several dozen languages and are recognized as modern classics of world children's literature. Good-natured humor, incredible colorful illustrations, funny and at the same time instructive plots of books about a motley elephant never cease to captivate young readers and their parents!
