Have You Seen Elephant? by David Barrow
TITLE INFORMATION David Barrow is a recent graduate of the Cambridge School of Art where he completed a Masters in Children’s Book Illustration and received the top prize, the Sebastian Walker award for most promising children’s illustrator. He lives in England with his wife and son. “I’ve been a shelf-stacker, a library assistant, a call-centre monkey, a civil servant, and a printer so obviously it was only a matter of time before I tried my hand at illustrating children’s books. Seemed like a natural progression... I live in Kettering with my partner Jo, son Teddy, and cat Sofia. You’ll most likely find me trying to ‘capture the light’ in some of the town’s more nefarious drinking holes.” —David Barrow
Book suitable for ages: 3 to 7 An assured and exciting debut picture book from a top emerging talent, about a small boy and his elephant playing an absurd game of hide and seek. about the book “This book 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 Elephant wants to play hide and seek. But you’ll need to try your best—he’s very good! Have You Seen Elephant is perfect for sharing with children, who will love finding the elephant (and being better at it than the boy in the book!). Watch out for the dog and the tortoise, too...
