The Elephant
Jenni Desmond
A boy opens a book about elephants and learns about the two surviving elephant species. The informational picture book compares the species and covers their behavior, bodies, senses, care of young, and diet. It also explains elephants’ importance to other animals and plants. Illustrations use the boy to show details such as tusk size and the way elephants walk on their toes. An author’s note notes that there were once more than three hundred elephant species.
