David McKee: Elmer (1968, Dobson)
English language
Published Jan. 9, 1968 by Dobson.
Cute story that attempts to illustrate the beauty of differences and also teaches colours. An elephant with patchwork colours wants to be like the other grey elephants and learns that he doesn't like how things are with him pretending to be something he isn't and then learns how the other elephants really appreciate him for who he is.
