 The illustrations of the elephants in this book are done in watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and crayon. They are accurate, strikingly detailed, and beautifully rendered. They make the book! Here, we join a young boy as he learns interesting facts about Asian and African elephants. Elephants are intelligent and have amazing memories and excellent hearing. They walk on their tip-toes and are either right-tusked or left-tusked. Tusks can be as long as two seven-year-old children from toe to toe. An introductory note describes modern threats to elephants and a map shows where these fascinating animals live today. mjw |
