Disney's Animal Kingdom series.
Illustrated by
Anna Vojtech.
Elephant calf Odon and the rest of the herd follow his mother, Silver Tusk, on an urgent daylong trek. He discovers the "ecstasy" of mud and dust, and when they finally meet up with Silver Tusk's sister and her herd, he makes his first strides in learning to use his long trunk. The watercolors lend atmosphere to this sometimes confusing journey. A guide to elephant communication is included along with various maps and plugs for Disney's Animal Kingdom.
