Quick Summary
Elephants by Petty Kate takes young readers on a scientific journey through the life cycle of elephants, showing how baby calves grow into massive adults through different developmental stages. The book covers specific topics like how elephants learn to use their trunks, form family bonds within herds, and develop the survival skills they need in the wild. If your child loves learning about animals in the National Geographic Kids "Who Would Win" series, they will be fascinated by this behind-the-scenes look at elephant biology and behavior. This book is ideal for kindergarten through third graders, especially kids ages 5-8 who are reading at a 4.1 AR level and want to build nonfiction reading skills while discovering real facts about one of nature's most remarkable animals.
