Format: Hardcover
What did you like about the book? This non fiction reader offers kid-friendly design and facts that will pique interest in the world’s largest animal. Maps, photographs and fun illustrations, along with a combination of text panels and speech bubbles amp up the appeal factor. I now finally know a way to tell African and Asian elephants apart – by the size and shape of their ears and the shape of their heads. Kids will enjoy the facts and superlatives about elephants, which are more than about size. I like this series, which can go in an easy reader section or hold its own in non fiction. A glossary and short chapters make the book useful for early elementary reports.
