The Library Challenge #53 - Elmer

Elmer By David McKee


I am not familiar with Elmer, but I took advantage of his colorful personality to create a background for my less-colorful elephant... but isn't he a cutie?  Good thing he's sitting on those strings!


There are a few more days to play along at The Library Challenge #53 … won't you join me?

  11. Love your card. Great interpretation of the book. I have the book, part of a collection from my teaching days. I taught 1st grade and some kindergarten, so I have saved my book(s) for grandchildren. Your card makes me happy.
