The text does not shy away from sophisticated and specialized vocabulary…(and) soft, rich illustrations will likely draw readers in and can help them build a closer connection with the elephants shown. An excellent resource for reports, or for curious readers ready to delve into information about these gigantic and extraordinary animals.” —Booklist
