How to Find an Elephant by Kate Banks -- ADVISABLE

Banks, Kate How to Find an Elephant, illustrated by Boris Kulikov. PICTURE BOOK. Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers (Macmillan), 2017. $17. 9780374335083

A boy gives helpful advice for finding an elephant, while completely overlooking the one hiding on page after page of the book.

This is a fun wink-wink-nod-nod story. Once readers notice the elephant hidden on each page, they will likely want to go back and examine all of the pages for the pachyderm. Because of the hidden details, this one is best read either one-on-one or using a projector.
