About This Book
Book Details
A boy searches for an elephant that remains elusive to him but is visible to readers as they examine the art.
What to do on a dull gray day? Head into the wilds and look for an elephant. You will need a pair of binoculars, a blanket, a flute, some food, a little imagination, and a lot of curiosity. Look and listen closely, because elephants can be anywhere. And watch out, because if you're not careful, the elephant may find you first!
With pleasing prose and "now you see it, now you don't" artwork, Kate Banks and Boris Kulikov's How to Find an Elephant takes readers on a spirited romp that will both challenge and delight.

In The News
“Readers can spot the grinning creature throughout, whimsically camouflaged into lush paintings that blend fantasy and reality . . . Forget about the elephant in the room—the one in your imagination is a lot more fun.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The text gives pointers on elephant-spotting, while the sophisticated, textural artwork allows young readers to spot elephants that the obedient, fictional child does not see . . . Another tribute to imagination from highly creative partners.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Kulikov’s colorful and playful mixed-media illustrations are a joy to peruse. With an elephant skillfully camouflaged on every page, adults and children will take delight in finding and pointing it out.” —Booklist
