This book shows what it's like growing up and living as an elephant from birth to adolescence. I don't think this book would be in my future classroom unless specifically requested by a student as I do not see a need for it beyond fulfilling a specific niche. ( ) This is a beautifully illustrated example of a information dense children's book. Here we have a book that does an amazing job at peaking interest with digestible language, but also having absolutely no compromise when it comes to the smallest of details. This book has so many teachable tidbits ranging from development up to sound and vibrations; truly a gem. This beautifully illustrated informational picture book portrays the life and development of a newborn elephant. Packed with fascinating information, readers will explore how a baby elephant learns to survive and thrive with protective support from her family herd.
