(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Christopher Santoro. Drawing together information about elephants, zoos, and circuses in the nineteenth century, this is a true story packaged in an easy-reader format. There is no documentation, but the author provides facts about Jumbo, bought by P. T. Barnum and exhibited as the largest-known elephant. The illustrations are pedestrian, but the story will keep the reader's interest.
