Along the Mekong River in northernmost Thailand, eight-year-old Tony lives with his family at an elephant conservation center and trains as a mahout (elephant trainer/keeper). Photos document Tony's work, play, and survival of a dangerous forest fire with his beloved elephants. Despite some awkward layouts and photo cropping, young readers will appreciate the scrapbook-style glimpse into the life of a child conservationist.
