48 pp. | Roaring Brook/Macaulay | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-178-4 $18.99
(1) K-3 In detailed accounts that integrate descriptions of anatomy, behavior, and development, Roy explains how a baby African elephant learns the skills necessary to survive in the wild. Roy's dynamic illustrations are masterful: bold strokes that provide definition to the elephants' wrinkled skin also skillfully convey movement, while diagrams and sketches illustrate interior and exterior organs. An author's note details Roy's visit to Kenya to learn about elephants. Reading list, websites. Bib.
