[ 책 소개 ]
다른 코끼리들과는 달리 알록달록한 몸색깔을 지니고 있는 코끼리 엘머는 어떻게 하면 다른 코끼리들과 똑같은 모습이 될까 고민합니다. 어느 날 모두가 아직 자고있는 이른 아침, 혼자 숲 속을 걸어가다 코끼리 색깔의 베리 열매가 주렁주렁 달려있는 나무를 발견했지요. '앗 저거다!' 하고 열매를 따다 자기 몸을 물들였어요. 이제 아무도 Elmer를 알아보지 못하게 됐어요. 왜냐하면 다른 코끼리들과 똑같이 변했으니까요. 그런데 하늘에 먹구름이 몰려오고 비가 내리기 시작했어요...
남과 다르다는 것에 잠시 의기소침하던 Elmer는 자기만의 장점을 찾고 자신감을 되찾습니다. 다른 코끼리 역시 남과 다르게 자신을 꾸미면서 Elmer를 이해하게 되죠. 남과 다른 것을 오히려 장점으로 부각시킴으로 해서 아이들에게 자기만의 장점, 정체성, 자신감을 갖게 해줍니다.
서로를 이해하고 배려하는 가운데 특별한 것과 평범한 것이 아름답게 공존할 수 있다는 것을 유쾌한 반전을 통해 보여줍니다.

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Annotation
All the elephants of the jungle were gray except Elmer, who was a patchwork of brilliant colors until the day he got tired of being different and making the other elephants laugh.
Book Description
Elmer the elephant is bright-colored patchwork all over. No wonder the other elephants laugh at him! If he were ordinary elephant color, the others might stop laughing. That would make Elmer feel better, wouldn't it? The surprising conclusion of David McKee's comical fable is a celebration of individuality and the power of laughter.
Publisher's Weekly
Elmer the elephant is a colorful character. His heady optimism and unbridled sense of humor keep the entire community in a cheery mood. And Elmer's unusual multicolored checkerboard hide is the wonder of all the other elephants, who are characteristically gray. In spite of his sunny disposition, Elmer begins to feel conspicuous. He starts to believe the others are laughing at him because of his crazy patchwork coat. When Elmer discovers a bush in the jungle with elephant-colored berries, he shakes the bush and rolls in a berry mash until he is as gray as the others. Now no one seems to notice him; for a time he enjoys his anonymity, but after a while he begins to realize just how quiet and dull things are when he's not around. Finally the practical joker in Elmer emerges, and he soon has the whole gang laughing again. McKee's gentle humor and love of irony are in full force in this celebration of individuality and laughter. Well-designed spreads are washed with stunning color and the use of textured, painted and airbrushed surfaces contributes to the powerful visual impression.
About the Author
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." |
