Barroux,

Where's the Elephant?

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8110-4 $14.99
(3) K-3 Bountiful multicolored flora provide beautiful cover for an elephant, a parrot, and a snake in Barroux's eye-catching collage, acrylic, and pencil illustrations. Successive spreads show their habitat yielding to deforestation and man-made buildings until at last the animals are confined to the zoo. While there's sadness in the narrative arc, this simple environmental lesson couched in seek-and-find puzzles ends on a hopeful note.
