Alex is sure it'll be easy to find an elephant. She meets a snake, a rhino and even a lion along her journey -- asking them if they've seen an elephant and explaining what to look for -- and yet, the largest land animal eludes her. But has the very animal she's looking for been there the whole time? Packed with pachyderm facts, this first book in the Alex's Field Guides series is an allegory on the disappearance of one of the world's most iconic animals, told in a charming, kid-accessible way. -- Provided by publisher.
