Where’s the Elephant? | Barroux 

This charming book by beloved French illustrator Barroux is beautiful enough to be treasured just for its illustrations, which invite children to spot the animals that are threatened by a growing city. The picture book is an engaging introduction to environmentalism for young kids (and their parents!).
