Once upon an Elephant

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Shennen Bersani. Simple text mimicking oral tradition highlights the importance of elephants as a keystone species in the savanna ecosystem, providing food, water, and shelter for other animals as a byproduct of their daily activities. Though the book's flow is slightly uneven, the illustrations bring the setting to life with subtly varying textures. Back matter includes additional information about savannas and elephants.
