Elephant Rescue, 107 pgs. National Geographic Children's Books, 2014. $12.99 Content: PG.
This comprehensive look at the current state of elephants in Africa and
Asia gives readers an overview of elephant’s lifestyle, history and fight for
survival. There are inserts throughout
with many biographies about explorers who work to help the elephants. There are also inserts throughout with ideas
to help kids make elephant projects or to bring the plight of elephants to the
attention of those around them.
I really
enjoyed this informative and up-to-date exploration about elephants. There are little side bars throughout and
each chapter ends with a project that kids could do—which would be one of my
complaints because I don’t feel like most of the activities are that applicable
for kids in Utah. There is a lot going
on throughout the book-at times it’s hard to follow the direction that you are
supposed to be reading because there are so many inserts. It’s also directed at older elementary or
middle school kids because of the amount of information. High school kids might find it interesting as
well. The back pages list a lot of
resources if readers want more information.
