A short children's story in which a child plays hide and seek with Elephant, who insists he is very good at hiding. The search moves through the house and outside, with Elephant never where expected.
This is a children's picture book titled Have You Seen Elephant? by David Barrow, published with Cambridge University Press and Assessment. It tells the story of a child and an elephant playing hide and seek, with Elephant claiming to be very good at the game.
The story follows the hide and seek game from counting to ten to the search. The child looks in various places, including under something and outside, while asking family members if they have seen Elephant. Elephant remains hidden throughout the search.
The narrative ends with the child giving up and finding Elephant, who then suggests playing tag. The final page repeats the opening line, with Elephant warning that he is very good at tag too, creating a circular ending.
The book is designed for young readers, with simple dialogue and repetitive phrases that support early literacy. The illustrations, implied by the text, show the contrast between what the child sees and where Elephant is actually hiding.
