(4) K-3 This book's author tells how the Jumbo Foundation, the large-animal rescue organization that she runs in Malawi, cared for an orphaned baby elephant named Moses. Charming photos show Moses living with Perepeczko's family. The "true story" text misses a mark in not clarifying for young readers fact from fiction ("'This is fun,' thought Moses"), but the approach may nonetheless be appealing.
