Market Rasen Library will be among those celebrating the nation’s favourite patchwork elephant with a fun packed morning of games, stories and craft.

“Elmer has such a cheerful and optimistic personality, and he loves practical jokes,” said Karen Waring, Market Rasen Library manager, for Grenwich Leisure Ltd.

“He also has a colourful body, with yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, green, black and white arranged as a patchwork which first attracts children to his character.

“The stories also explore themes and issues such as race and diversity - with a subtle message that it is OK to be different.”

Since his first introduction by author David McKee in 1968, Elmer has become an international star and has sold around five million copies of his 34 titles, in 40 languages, around the world.

Head along to Market Rasen Library on Saturday, May 27, for the drop in session between 10am and noon to join in the fun.
