Ruurs, Margriet The Elephant Keeper: Caring for Orphaned
Elephants in Zambia. PICTURE BOOK/INFORMATIONAL.
Illustrated by Pedro Covo. CitizenKid
(KidsCan), 2017. $19.
Aaron’s village has always been afraid of the elephants, but
when he sees one thrashing in the water of the resort swimming pool, he
instinctively jumps in to save it.
Afterwards he is offered a job at a nearby elephant rescue facility and
grows to love the animals he used to fear.
CitizenKids once again brings a real life story into a
compelling book. For a picture book is
it text heavy, but still engaging. There
are also informational pages adding more depth to the story. This hybrid format makes this a rich resource
that is worth taking the time to share.
EL – ADVISABLE.
