主題: 環境保護
一場尋找大象、鸚鵡和蛇的遊戲，藉由作者的細膩運鏡，逐層揭露都市開發造成的森林消失。
這是一本幾乎沒有文字，卻讓人看了久久不能忘記的圖畫書。
一開始，就像在玩躲貓貓一樣：孩子會在熱鬧的叢林裡找找看，「大象躲在哪裡呢？」畫面就像大家熟悉的「找一找」遊戲，充滿趣味，也讓人忍不住一頁接一頁翻下去。
但慢慢地，你會發現，事情開始不太一樣了。森林一點一點消失，樹越來越少，大象也變得越來越容易被找到……原本的遊戲，悄悄變成了一個讓人心裡一震的故事。
這本書用最簡單的畫面，說出一個很重要的議題——森林消失了，動物的家也跟著不見了。沒有說教，卻讓孩子自然感受到改變正在發生。
很適合家長陪著孩子一起翻閱，一邊找、一邊聊：「為什麼會變這樣呢？」也很適合老師在課堂上引導討論環境與動物保護。
這不只是一本遊戲書，更是一個溫柔卻深刻的提醒：我們的世界，正在改變，而我們都可以開始關心它。
A visionary picture book from the genius of Barroux, which pairs a beautiful wordless storytelling experience with a powerful message.
What starts as a game of jungle hide-and-seek quickly turns into something more significant as Barroux’s illustrations convey the consequences of deforestation upon the animal kingdom.
Barroux adopts the familiar ‘Where’s Wally?’ search-and-find format to introduce young readers to environmental issues, but as the forest begins to disappear, elephant becomes easier to spot. Where’s the Elephant? is a deeply poignant read remniscent of Benji Davies’s The Storm Whale and is devastating in its simplicity. Children age 3 and up will be captivated by Barroux’s unique illustration style and the book is designed to encourage parent and child discussion. Recommended by Mumsnet, The Guardian and The Sunday Times. Also longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Award.
Look out for Barroux’s latest masterpiece, Where’s the Starfish?
Barroux's books include Uncle John and the Giant Cherry Tree, which won him the 2005 Enfantaisie Award, and the extraordinary Line of Fire, Diary of An Unknown Soldier which has received widespread critical acclaim. In 2015 Barroux won the first Parents, Babies, a Book competition for his work Chuut! which will be given to every newborn baby in the north of France. Where's the Elephant? won Silver in the Prima Baby and Pregnancy Awards and has been longlisted for the Kate Greenway Medal 2016.
