La opinión de los lectores sobre Elmer and the Stranger:

“At two years old, the kids are a bit too young to appreciate the artwork or the story, but older kids would really enjoy this I think. It has a very positive message combined with adult irony and fantastical illustrations.”. From goodreads.com

“The book is also good for to make children think about how kindness is important to make new friends. The book is suitable to be used as an introduction to friendship, kindness, helping others and above all not to give up and believe in yourself.”. From goodreads.com

“When reading the book, Ethan loved pointing to all the animals he recognised and making the noises.  Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated.  The take home message of believing in yourself and not overthinking things is delivered in a very entertaining way.”. From toppsta.com

“This is a lovely story. We are already big fans of Elmer so had no trouble in picking up this book.”. From toppsta.com
