A heart-warming picture book about a small boy and his elephant playing an absurd game of hide and seek.

"Have You Seen Elephant? tickles the funnybone of children and adults equally. Part of the humour comes through the juxtaposition of the subdued, beautiful illustrations and the absurdity of an elephant trying to hide inside a standard lamp." Julia Marshall, Publisher

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The brilliantly interactive, bestselling picture book that tickles the funny bones of both children and adults.

Have You Seen Elephant? by David Barrow invites you to join Elephant in a game of hide and seek. You can play too, but you’ll need to try your best—he’s very good! Elephant can even hide behind a lamp or a small tree...

This beautifully illustrated picture book features a small boy and his elephant engaging in an absurd game of hide and seek. Young readers will delight in shouting out loud when they find Elephant hiding in full view, while adults share in the laughter. Perhaps the little dog catches sight of him, perhaps not.

The story celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the elephant than the boy. Keep an eye out for the tortoise, too…
