Elephant's Story

The newest elephant in the herd is adorably small and wrinkly, with floppy ears and a most extraordinary nose. Though she's a baby, it isn't long before she's charging around her mother, flapping those big ears to frighten the birds, learning to control her trunk, playing with other calves...and charming children everywhere. This is non-fiction at its freshest--filled with valuable information presented through a dramatic, exciting, and memorably illustrated story. Kids will love watching this infant grow up, surrounded by a loving family that's always there to protect her. At the same time, young readers will find out important facts about this endangered species: how the herd behaves, why they may one day disappear, and what different kinds of elephants live around the world.Blackford, Harriet is the author of 'Elephant's Story', published 2008 under ISBN 9781905417759 and ISBN 1905417756.
