Descriptions and illustrations of current as well as ancient species of elephants. We learn about their history, ecologically as well as their interactions with humans. How their trunks are used, what their teeth are like, how they keep themselves cool, how important their families are and so much more. 

Wow! I thought I knew all about elephants - I learned so much. Kids will find this fascinating, the illustrations are realistic, and I'm sure that baby elephant was smiling. Includes a glossary, index and sources for more information. A great informative read for upper elementary or even middle school.
