so-soAudiobook was very well done with each separate character personality. Otherwise, this is an incredibly heart wrenching mystery story of a girl looking for her mother. Though the ending twist came out of nowhere, with the hints only coming half way to me. The connection between elephants and human grieving processes was very well received. I also didn‘t know you could study grief.
pickOh I loved this story. I didn‘t think I would and it‘s not the normal thing I read, but I really fell in love with it.
pickAnother favorite book of mine from my childhood back in the 80‘s. It‘s such a cute and heartwarming story, and will always hold a special place in my heart.
“When elephants bunch, it indicates that they're being vigilant or wary.“
I would use this book with my students to expose them to one of the most popular animals in the world among young children. This book is great for older elementary students who are interested to learn more about science, the safari environment, and elephants. I would also use this book to show students how scientific images can be used to help support content within text.
pickThis book discusses everything there is to know about elephants including secrets, common misconceptions, their extensive history, species facts, their sensitive souls, herd interactions, and their amazing features and abilities (footwork, ears, vocalizations, trunk movement, etc). This book contains a ton of scientific detail regarding elephants that are supported by real pictures, scientific images and graphs, and diagrams.
Daphne Sheldrick started the David Sheldrick Foundation when David passed away. The foundation helps elephant and rhino orphans in Kenya. They will be introduced back into the wild when they are ready. Amazing place, amazing people. I read the book a couple of years ago.
