An elephant sings a sad refrain as young readers pull tabs and lift flaps to help him search for his shorts inside a drawer, behind the sofa, under the house, and other unusual places.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Jaunty verse and amusing paper engineering mark this affable if undistinguished effort. (The book's subtitle proves misleading, however: only one of the six spreads contains pop-ups, and those of a rather ordinary variety.) Starting in his room, an appealing blue elephant conducts a search for the missing garment--despite his concern, he exhibits an almost constant grin. Pull-tabs and lifted flaps reveal sneakers under the rug, a long-lost sock poured from a cereal box, a gator peering from a dresser drawer--but no underwear. Until the final spread, that is, where a playground hosts an unusual cavorting crew. Saltzberg's illustrations exude a childlike insouciance, but his sing-song rhymes don't scan well ("I found a doll I thought / I'd never see again / I even found my skateboard / behind the sofa in the den"). Nevertheless, the notion of underwear--particularly in absentia --should draw chuckles from the lower end of the intended audience. Ages 4-8.
