How Can You Lose an Elephant?

Oscar is a brave and funny boy, but he is also a boy who manages to lose everything, his boots, his scooter, his flippers, even clothes.  But one day at the park he finds an elephant, Hugo, who never forgets anything.  The pair become inseparable friends and Hugo even helps Oscar to start remembering things.  But one day Oscar loses something especially important…his temper.  Oscar has a tantrum when playing with Hugo and nearly loses his best friend until he remembers all the happy times they have shared and makes amends.

Jan Fearnley has created another appealing, funny, and lively picture book with quirky characters, a satisfying plot, and an important, reassuring message about friendship, falling out and making up.  The illustrations are full of character, movement, and humour with so many brilliant, eye-catching tiny details on every spread that children will love poring over this delightful book and discovering something new every time.
