Illustrated by
Boris Kulikov.
A how-to manual for finding an elephant begins with a little boy's instructions to pack your binoculars, blanket, and flute, and moves on into an imaginary jungle populated with a variety of animals. Although the search seems fruitless, there's an elephant cleverly hidden in every picture. The story drags a bit toward the end, but Kulikov's illustrations are a visual feast for keen observers.
