Elmer

• The main feature in this picture is colour

• 'Elmer' is the main character in the story and is multi coloured, in this picture she stands out from all the other grey elephants because of her colour.

• 'Elmer' is very bright and bold in colour and therefore she is the main feature on every page

• Children are engaged by colour and this book uses colour to encourage the children to follow Elmer (the main character) throughout the story. 

• All other colours used on the page are very soft and pastel like, so blend into the background however are still colourful and add to the aesthetics of the page.

• There are no borders to the page and the setting looks like a forest so the colour runs from edge to edge, implying that the forest doesn't end
