Why Do Elephants Need the Sun?

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-9081-2 $16.99
(4) K-3 Lively, cartoonish pen-and-ink illustrations (including some scientific diagrams) and a brief text attempt to explain how animals on Earth use the sun. The scientific vocabulary is a little challenging for the audience to which the art seems aimed; a glossary and pronunciation guide would be helpful. Nevertheless, for precocious science-loving youngsters, this is a solid choice.
