When Anju Loved Being an Elephant

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-533-3 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Butler. This fictional account of fifty-year-old elephant Anju's transfer from zoo to animal sanctuary tacitly criticizes the confinement and use of wild animals for entertainment. The sentimental text, which incorporates information about real-life elephant behavior, is supported by soft-focus illustrations that play up emotions. "Elephant Facts" and "Ways You Can Help Elephants" are appended.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
