Quick Summary
A parade of giant ears, thunderous trumpets, and baby calves rolling in mud makes this elephant guide feel more like a safari show than a typical nonfiction read. Kids will devour surprising facts, like how an elephant's trunk can pick up a tiny peanut while also doubling as a snorkel, and grin at the quirky illustrations that turn every page into a surprise. If your kid loves the colorful animal snapshots in the National Geographic Little Kids series or the playful humor of Mo Willems' Elephant & Piggie books, they'll be thrilled by this picture-perfect elephant guide. The short, clear sentences and vivid photos make it ideal for kindergartners through second graders who are just starting to read nonfiction.
