 excellent book about the weather January 21, 2008
Great for young children learning about the weather, seeing how elmer wears sunglasses in the sun, goes under the umbrella when its raining.
its quite basic, its not a story really running through the book, its elfed in different places experiencing different weather, (a story would have been good but i guess its not that kind of book), i remember calon as a baby and toddler enjoying it plenty though. i think its a good book to get out of the library, like a baby version of a text book or similar type knowledge to learn from. However, with their love for learning its also good to have a copy at home to read and re-read again.
I don't think its fair to put the review of the bengali ediition on the english version as it bears no relevance to the english edition, as its only the translation into bengali thats wrong. Surely it should be just on the bengali version as its obviously useful to someone considering buying that version (maybe amazon will eventually correct this, i don't know)
the welsh translation is also excellent by the way.
 Bengali translation very poor. September 27, 2001

The Bengali translation is very poor (this is true of all the Elmer books)-- ranging from awkward to inaccurate to absurd. When I read the Bengali to my son, I have to make it up, which defeats the whole purpose of buying a Bengali board book.
