How to Find an Elephant [Hardcover]

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'sHow to Find an Elephanttakes readers on a spirited romp that will both challenge and delight.
