Book by McKee, David
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
David McKee grew up in Devon, England. Later, while a student at Plymouth Art College, he began selling his cartoon drawings to newspapers. Since 1964 he has published a number of successful books for children, including the King Rollo stories, which he helped animate for British television. His first book for Lothrop was Snow Woman, of which Publishers Weekly said, "It is McKee's superb humor--conveyed almost solely in the illustrations...that wins the day." Of his second Lothrop book, Who's a Clever Baby, Publishers Weekly had this to say: "Grandma's alliterative frenzies are fascinating and readers will find Baby's manipulative stubbornness vastly amusing."
Mr. McKee enjoys traveling and doing books that "leave things unsaid."
PreSchool-Grade 1-- Elmer, an elephant who sports a colorful patchwork hide, relies on humor to relieve his boredom. He enlists the aid of his friend and fellow elephant Harold, and they paint every member of the sleeping herd in a patchwork design similar to his own. When the animals wake up, an identity crisis ensues, as they all try to determine who the "real" Elmer is. Plot takes second place to the exuberant illustrations, and McKee manages to delineate personality with the quirk of an eyebrow. The kaleidoscope of colors ensures that this elephant joke will spend little time on the shelf. --Lori A. Janick, Parkwood Elementary School, Pasadena, TX
